Problema Solution

Mr Nolan is making 6 sandwiches from 3/4 of a pound of turkey. How much turkey is on each sandwich?

Answer provided by our tutors

If 6 sandwiches need 3/4 pounds turkey then 1 sandwich will need x pounds of turkey thus we have the proportion


6 : (3/4) = 1 : x


x = (3/4*1)/6


x = 1/8 pound


1/8 pound of turkey is needed for 1 sandwich.
