Assuming that a cheese sandwich consists of 2 slices of bread and 3 slices of cheese, determine the number of whole cheese sandwiches that can be prepared from 28 slices of bread and 45 slices of cheese.

Question
Answer:
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
