Respuesta :
If we are to consider the number of slices of bread first,
number of sandwiches = (28 slices of bread)(1 sandwich/ 2 slices of bread)
number of sandwiches = 14 sandwiches
If we are to consider the number of slices of cheese
number of sandwiches = (45 slices of cheese)(1 sandwich / 3 slices of cheese)
number of sandwiches = 15 sandwiches
Since, 14 is smaller than 15 then, 14 is the answer.
Answer: 14 sandwiches
number of sandwiches = (28 slices of bread)(1 sandwich/ 2 slices of bread)
number of sandwiches = 14 sandwiches
If we are to consider the number of slices of cheese
number of sandwiches = (45 slices of cheese)(1 sandwich / 3 slices of cheese)
number of sandwiches = 15 sandwiches
Since, 14 is smaller than 15 then, 14 is the answer.
Answer: 14 sandwiches
The number of whole cheese sandwiches is [tex]\boxed{\bf 14}[/tex].
Further explanation:
It is given that a cheese sandwich consists of [tex]2[/tex] slices of bread and [tex]3[/tex] slices of cheese.
Also, there are total [tex]28[/tex] slices of bread and [tex]45[/tex] slices of cheese.
Now, we first choose the number of slices of bread [tex](n)[/tex] to make sandwiches by dividing [tex]28[/tex] by [tex]2[/tex] as follows:
[tex]\begin{aligned}n&=\dfrac{28}{2}\\&=14\end{aligned}[/tex]
This implies that [tex]14[/tex] sandwiches can be prepared with [tex]28[/tex] slices of bread such that each sandwich contains [tex]2[/tex] slices of bread.
Now, we choose the number of slices of cheese [tex](m)[/tex] to make sandwiches by dividing [tex]45[/tex] by [tex]3[/tex] as follows:
[tex]\begin{aligned}m&=\dfrac{45}{3}\\&=15\end{aligned}[/tex]
This implies that [tex]15[/tex] sandwiches can be prepared with [tex]45[/tex] slices of cheese such that each sandwich contains [tex]3[/tex] slices of cheese.
Since, in each sandwich contains [tex]2[/tex] slices of bread and [tex]3[/tex] slices of cheese so, with [tex]28[/tex] slices of bread and [tex]45[/tex] slices of cheese only [tex]14[/tex] sandwich can be prepared.
Thus, total number of sandwiches which can be prepared are [tex]\boxed{\bf 14}[/tex].
