Question

Julia bought 4 pounds of turkey. She wants

to make 8 sandwiches. How much turkey
should she put on each sandwich if she
wants each sandwich to have the same
amount of turkey? (Please help, thanks when/if you do!)
A: 1 and 1/2
B: 3/4
C: 4/8
D: 1/4

Answer 1

Julia should put 0.5 pounds (or 1/2 pound) of turkey on each sandwich.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much turkey Julia should put on each sandwich, we need to divide the total amount of turkey (4 pounds) by the number of sandwiches (8). This gives us:

4 pounds / 8 sandwiches = 0.5 pounds/sandwich

Therefore, Julia should put 0.5 pounds (or 1/2 pound) of turkey on each sandwich. Option A: 1 and 1/2 is incorrect because it is more than the total amount of turkey Julia has. Option B: 3/4 is also incorrect because it is less than the total amount of turkey Julia has. Option C: 4/8 is incorrect because it is equivalent to 1/2, which is the correct answer. Option D: 1/4 is incorrect because it is less than the total amount of turkey Julia has.

Answer 2

C. 4/8

Step-by-step explanation:

She bought 4 pounds, and she wants to make 8 sandwiches.

1 and a half would be 1.5 pounds. 1.5 lb each sandwich x 8 sandwiches = 12, which is more than 4. So option A is incorrect.

3/4 is 0.75. 0.75 lbs each sandwich x 8 sandwiches = 6 lbs, which is more than 4. Option B is incorrect

4/8 = 0.5. 0.5 lbs each sandwich x 8 sandwiches = 4 lbs. Option C is correct.

1/4 is 0.25. 0.25 lbs per sandwich x 8 sandwiches = 2 lbs, which is less than 4 lbs. Option D is incorrect.

Also, 4 lbs divided by 8 sandwiches is 0.5 lbs a sandwich
