Answer:

9 whole sandwiches can be made

Explanation:

As we know 1 pound = 16 ounces

Therefore, 3 pounds = 16 × 3 = 48 ounces

There are 48 ounces (3 pounds) of turkey.

In each sandwich turkey is used = 5 ounces

48 ounces turkey is used = 48 ÷ 5 = 9.6 ≈ 9

9 whole sandwiches can be made with 3 pounds of turkey.
