Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
the question is practically "how many 1/12 sandwiches fit inside a 3/4 sandwich"
this calls for division
3/4 / 1/12
"flip & switch"
3/4 * 12/1
36/4
9
you will have 9 small sandwiches
Answer:
9 smaller sandwiches
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you will need to divide the party sub's length by the length of the smaller sandwiches that you will cut it into.
Take the party sub's length, 3/4 yards, and divide this number by the smaller sandwiches' length, 1/12 yards.
To divide fractions, change the division sign to a multiplication sign and multiply the original fraction by the reciprocal of the fraction you are dividing by.
Keep 3/4 the same, change / into *, and change 1/12 to 12/1.
Multiply straight across.
This can be simplified to 9 by dividing by 4/4. You will have 9 smaller sandwiches.
