Ben bought 1/2 pound of cheese for 3 sandwiches. If he puts the same amount of cheese on each sandwich, how much cheese will each sandwich have
Answer: Each sandwich will get \(\frac{1}{6}\ pound\) of cheese.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of sandwiches = 3
Amount of pound of cheese bought by Ben is given by
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
Since we have given that he put the same amount of cheese on each sandwich.
So, Amount of cheese each sandwich will have is given by
\(=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{3}\\\\=\frac{1}{2\times 3}\\\\=\frac{1}{6}\ pound\)
Hence, each sandwich will get \(\frac{1}{6}\ pound\) of cheese.
