Question

I have 4 sandwiches that each measure 12 inches long. If they were cut into 3 2/3 inches, how many sandwiches will you have?

Answer 1

Answer: 13

Explanation:

Given

there are 4 sandwiches that each measures 12 inches

If they were cut into

`3\ (2)/(3)\ in.=(3* 3+2)/(3)=(11)/(3)\ in.`

Now, it becomes

`\Rightarrow \text{No of sandwiches}=(4* 12)/((11)/(3))=(4* 12* 3)/(11)=13.09\approx 13`

Now, there are 13 sandwiches
