12 lbs turkey/ 27 sandwiches

4/9 lbs per sandwich

Answer 2

Answer:
`(4)/(9)` lbs of turkey

Explanation:

hey there,

< Since we know 27 sandwiches = 12 lbs, then let's make a ratio table.

27 sandwiches = 12 lbs

1 sandwich = ? lbs

The way you solve a ratio table is multiply the two amounts that cross each other that do not include the thing we are trying to find. Here, it would be 12 lbs x 1 sandwich, as they are right across from each other and there is no "?" within either of those two. 12 x 1 = 12. Now, divide by the last amount left that we haven't touched yet (27 sandwiches).

12 ÷ 27 =
`(12)/(27)` =
`(4)/(9)` lbs of turkey or you can change it to a decimal so it would be 0.44 lbs (not precise so it's better to use a fraction). >

Hope this helped! Feel free to ask anything else if you still have questions.
