Sally was making 3 sandwiches. there were only 10 slices. if she used 2 slices of bread to make each sandwich. what fraction of the bread did she use to make the sandwiches?
6/10 = 3/5
A loaf of has 18 slices . The cost is .99 cent. I only want to by 3 slices
To find the fraction of bread that Sally used to make the sandwiches, we need to determine the total number of slices used and compare it to the total number of slices available.
Each sandwich requires 2 slices of bread, and since Sally made 3 sandwiches, she used a total of 2 * 3 = 6 slices of bread.
Now, we need to calculate the fraction. The fraction is determined by dividing the number of utilized slices of bread by the total number of slices available.
So, the fraction of bread Sally used can be expressed as 6/10.
In its simplest form, this fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. The simplified fraction is 3/5.
Therefore, Sally used 3/5 or three-fifths of the available bread slices to make the sandwiches.
