There is 2 and 3/4 punds of roast beef and 1 and 7/8 pounds of turkey and 2 1/16 pounds of salami if you must put 1/4 of pound of meat on sandwiches how many whole sandwiches of each type can you make

Answer 1

2 and 3/4 punds of roast beef 2 3/4 = (4x2) + 3 /4= 11/4 roast beef

1 and 7/8 pounds of turkey 1 7/8 = 15/8 turkey

2 1/16 pounds of salami 2 1/16 33/16 salami

if you put 1/4 of pound of meat
then 11/4 roast beef divided by 1/4 = 11/4 x4 = 11 sandwiches roast beef

15/8 turkey divided 1/4 = 15/8 x 4 = 15/2 = 7 sandwishes

33/16 salami divided 1/4 = 33/16 x 4 = 33/ 4 = 8 sandwiches
