Problema Solution
For a party, Raven ordered a sandwich that was 108 inches long. She divided the sandwich into equal parts for her 12 friends. What equation can be used to find s, the length of the sandwich that each friend receives?
Answer provided by our tutors
let L = the full length of the sandwich
let p = the number of parts the sandwich is divided into
let s = the length of each part
s = L/p
In this case:
s = 108"/12
s = 9"
