Question

Ben bought 1/2 pound of cheese for 3 sandwiches. If he puts the same amount of cheese on each sandwich, how much cheese will each sandwich have

Answer 1

1/6 pounds
1/2 divided by 3 1/6

Answer 2

Answer: Each sandwich will get
`(1)/(6)\ pound` of cheese.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of sandwiches = 3

Amount of pound of cheese bought by Ben is given by

`(1)/(2)`

Since we have given that he put the same amount of cheese on each sandwich.

So, Amount of cheese each sandwich will have is given by

`=((1)/(2))/(3)\\\\=(1)/(2* 3)\\\\=(1)/(6)\ pound`

Hence, each sandwich will get
`(1)/(6)\ pound` of cheese.
