  • Marlon has [tex]\frac{7}{8}lb[/tex] of turkey.
  • He used [tex]\frac{2}{3}lb[/tex] of turkey in sandwiches.

To know the number that represents the quantity Marlo used in the sandwiches, we just have to multiply the total amount of turkey by the amount he used for sandwiches

[tex]\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{7}{8} =\frac{14}{24}=\frac{7}{12}[/tex]

Therefore, he used [tex]\frac{7}{12}lb[/tex] of turkey for sandwiches.
