Question

Caleb's family is going to relax at the beach all day! In preparation, Caleb made s sandwiches for them to eat when they get hungry. Caleb put 3 slices of turkey and 3 slices of ham on each sandwich.

Answer 1

Caleb made a total of 12 sandwiches with 3 slices of turkey and 3 slices of ham on each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Caleb's family is preparing for a day at the beach, and to ensure they have enough food, Caleb has made sandwiches for them to eat when they get hungry. Each sandwich has a total of 6 slices of meat, with 3 slices of turkey and 3 slices of ham. Since Caleb made 12 sandwiches, we can calculate the total number of slices of turkey and ham used as follows:

12 sandwiches x 6 slices of meat per sandwich = 72 slices of meat in total

As each sandwich has 3 slices of turkey and 3 slices of ham, we can find the number of slices of turkey and ham separately by dividing the total number of slices by the number of slices per sandwich:

Total number of slices of turkey = (12 sandwiches x 3 slices of turkey per sandwich) = 36 slices of turkey

Total number of slices of ham = (12 sandwiches x 3 slices of ham per sandwich) = 36 slices of ham

Therefore, Caleb used a total of 72 slices of meat (36 slices of turkey and 36 slices of ham) to make the sandwiches for his family's beach day.
