Question

Micah has three 6-foot-long sandwiches. He needs to cut pieces that are 8 inches long from the sandwiches. What is the greatest number of 8-inch pieces he can cut from the three sandwiches?

Answer 1

27 pieces

Explanation:

1) first, multiply 6 times 3 (6×3=18)

2) 1 ft = 12 in. so you multiply the 18 by 12 (18×12=216)

3) now you divide the 216 by 8 (216÷8=27)
