Jimmy johns made 27 sandwiches using 12 pounds of turkey. How much turkey was used per sandwich?

John has 12 pounds of turkey. he makes 27 sandwiches. assuming he uses an equal amount of turkey each sandwich, he uses 12/27 pounds of turkey per sandwich, as the 12 pounds are divided equally between the 27 sandwiches. this simplifies into 4/9

You would divide 27 by 12.

27 / 12 = 2.25

So, he used 2.25 pounds per sandwich.
