Question

At a party there were four large submarine sandwiches, all the same size. During the party, 2/3 of the chicken sandwhich, 3/4 of the tuna sandwhich, 7/12 of the roast beast and 5/6 of the veggie sandwhich were eaten. Which sandwhich had the least amount left?

Answer 1

The answer is the Veggie Sandwich

Explanation:

Given that there are four large submarine Sandwiches in a party and all of them are of the same size.

The fractions of the Chicken Sandwich(C), Tuna Sandwich(T), Roast beef Sandwich(R) and the Veggie Sandwich(V) that were eaten during the party are given by

Therefore, the fractions of the Sandwiches that left will be

Out of the four fractions, V' is the smallest, so the Veggie Sandwich has the least amount left.
