Answer:

24 / 6 = ccc

Explanation:

There is 24 oz of cheese total that will be split evenly (divided) into 6 parts.

Each part will equal one sandwich worth of cheese (ccc) on the other side of the equation.

This one is very simple to solve, you could just calculate 24/6 to get your answer. But I'll go through it using typical algebra you would use for a less simple equation.

To solve:

Multiply by 6 to cancel the division by 6 on the left side

24 = 6ccc

Divide by 6 to isolate ccc again

4 = ccc

So each sandwich would get 4oz of cheese.
