Question

Camille buys a three foot long sandwich for a party. She then cuts the sandwich into pieces.With each piece being 1/2 foot long. How many pieces does she get?

Answer 1

6 pieces.

Explanation:

While you cannot divide directly, one thing that rings true is that the numerator divided by a denominator that is twice the numerator will always be equal 1/2 or 0.5(or 50%, if you wanna go that way).

3*2 = 6

3/6 = 1/2

Therefore, Camille will get 6 pieces.
