kelly i s making sandwiches to sell at the football game's concession stand. She has 4 3/8 ounces of roast beef. Each sandwich has 3/4 ounce of roast beef. How many sandwiches can kelly makes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5 full sandwich

Step-by-step explanation:

Total roasted beef kelly has =  4 3/8 ounces

lets convert it into improper fraction for ease of calculation

Total roasted beef kelly has = ( 4*8+ 3)/8 ounces = 35/8 ounces.

weight of beef in 1 sandwich = 3/4 ounce

let the no. of sanwich be x

Total weight of beef in x sandwich = 3/4 *x ounce

given that total weight of roasted beef is 35/8 ounces. so

3/4 *x  = 35/8

=> 3x = 35*4/8 = 35/2

=> x = 35/2*3 = 35/6

=> x = 5  5/6

Thus, kelly can make 5 full sandwich and 5/6 part of full sandwich.

If answer should be for full sandwich , then kelly can make 5 sandwich.
