Question

Para una reunion taliana encargo 6 docenas de sandwiches la mitad son de tomate,un tercio de pollo y el resto d jamon y queso.Cuantos sandwiches de pollos habia

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

The first thing is to calculate the number of total sandwiches. We know that a dozen are 12 units, and there were 6 dozen therefore:

6 * 12 = 72

In other words, there were a total of 72 sandwiches.

Now to know how many chickens, they tell us that a third of the total are chicken, therefore you have to multiply that third by the total, 72. Thus:

72 * (1/3) = 24

In other words, there were 24 chicken sandwiches.
