1: If you have 7 pieces of bread, 4 slices of meat, and 3 slices of cheese, how many meat and cheese sandwiches can you make? How many of each ingredient are left over?
To make meat and cheese sandwiches, you need one slice of meat and one slice of cheese per sandwich.
Since you have 7 pieces of bread, you can make a maximum of 7 sandwiches.
However, since you only have 4 slices of meat, you will be limited to making 4 sandwiches as you cannot make more than the number of slices of meat available.
Similarly, since you have 3 slices of cheese, you can only make 3 sandwiches with cheese as you cannot exceed the number of cheese slices.
So, you can make a maximum of 3 meat and cheese sandwiches.
To calculate the ingredients left over:
Meat left over = Total slices of meat - Slices of meat per sandwich * Number of sandwiches made
Meat left over = 4 - 1 * 3
Meat left over = 4 - 3
Meat left over = 1
Cheese left over = Total slices of cheese - Slices of cheese per sandwich * Number of sandwiches made
Cheese left over = 3 - 1 * 3
Cheese left over = 3 - 3
Cheese left over = 0
In summary:
You can make a maximum of 3 meat and cheese sandwiches.
After making the sandwiches, 1 piece of meat will be left over, but no cheese slices will be left over.
