at a picnic, 12 people shared 4 large sandwiches equally. how much of a sandwich did each person get to eat?
4/12 = _______
To find out how much of a sandwich each person got to eat, we need to divide the total amount of sandwich among the number of people.
In this case, there are 12 people sharing 4 large sandwiches equally.
To find out how much of a sandwich each person got to eat, we can divide the total amount of sandwich by the number of people:
Total amount of sandwich = 4 large sandwiches
Number of people = 12
So, to find out how much each person got to eat, we divide the total amount of sandwich by the number of people:
4 large sandwiches ÷ 12 people
To get the answer, we can perform the division:
4 ÷ 12 = 0.33 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, each person got to eat approximately 0.33 (or 1/3) of a sandwich at the picnic.
