Answer: He can make 6 sandwiches with the cheese.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Sliced cheese available: 3/4 pound

Sliced cheese used in each sandwich: 1/8 pound

So, to find the number of sandwiches he can make, we have to divide the amount of cheese available by the amount of cheese that is used in each sandwich.

Mathematically speaking:

3/4 ÷ 1/8 = 3x8 / 4x1 = 24 /4 = 6 sandwiches.
