Question

at a party there were four large submarine sandwiches, all the same size during the party, 2/3 of the chicken sandwich, 3/4 of the tuna sandwich, 7/12 of the roast beef sandwich and 5/6 of the veggie sandwich were eaten. which sandwich had the least amount left ?

Answer 1

Veggi sandwich had the least amount left

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is the Veggie Sandwich

Step-by-step explanation: Given that there are four large submarine Sandwiches in a party and all of them are of the same size.

Some parts of each of them were eaten during the party. We are to find the Sandwich that has the least amount left.

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

`C=(2)/(3),\\\\T=(3)/(4),\\\\R=(7)/(12),\\\\V=(5)/(6).`

Therefore, the fractions of the Sandwiches that left will be

`C'=1-C=1-(2)/(3)=(1)/(3)=(4)/(12),\\\\T'=1-T=1-(3)/(4)=(1)/(4)=(3)/(12),\\\\R'=1-R=1-(7)/(12)=(5)/(12),\\\\V'=1-V=1-(5)/(6)=(1)/(6)=(2)/(12).`

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