Final answer:

Mathematical problem involving the use of limited resources (bread and cheese slices) to determine the maximum number of sandwiches that can be produced, with cheese as the limiting factor allowing for the production of 11 sandwiches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question appears to relate to a mathematical problem involving the allocation of limited resources (slices of bread and cheese) to produce a given number of products (sandwiches). It can be translated into an equation that determines the maximum number of sandwiches that can be made given the number of bread slices and cheese slices available.

Given 28 slices of bread and 11 slices of cheese, you can make 11 sandwiches based on the recipe of 1 sandwich requiring 2 slices of bread and 1 slice of cheese. This is because the cheese is the limiting factor; once all 11 slices of cheese are used, no more sandwiches can be made, regardless of the number of bread slices remaining.

Thus, cheese limits the production to 11 sandwiches, and there will be 6 slices of bread left over. This represents a real-world problem often found in resource management, especially in the food industry or in personal meal planning.
