Answer:

7 sandwiches in 161 seconds

Explanation:

Let's start with 5 in 115 seconds.

Divide the values:

115/5=23

So, it takes 23 seconds to make one sandwich.

To get how many seconds it takes to prepare 7 sandwiches, multiply 7 by 23.

23x7=161

Hence, it takes 161 seconds or 2.6833 minutes to prepare 7 sandwiches.
