Question

A group of volunteers made 21,736 sandwiches for a community service project. There are 143 volunteers in the group. On average, how many sandwiches did each volunteer make for the project?

Answer 1

Assuming everyone made the same amount of sandwiches then each volunteer made 152 sandwiches.

I divided 21,736 by 143 to get that answer.

Answer 2

Answer: 152 sandwiches

Explanation:

The only total number of sandwiches for a community service project = 21,736

Number of volunteers = 143

Thus, the number of sandwich made by each volunteer = (Total number of sandwiches / Total number of volunteers)

i.e 21736 / 143 = 152

Thus, an average of 152 sandwiches are made by each volunteer
