    9 deli sandwiches, because 3 7/8-1 5/8 is 2 1/4 and 2 1/4 divided by 1/4 is 9

    3 7/8 - 1/4x = 1 5/8

    Change to improper fractions

    31/8 - 1/4x = 13/8

    Subtract 31/8 from both sides

    -1/4 x = (13/8) - (31/8)

    -1/4 = (-18/8)

    Reduce (-18/8)

    -1/4 x = (-9/4)

    Multiply by - 4 on both sides to clear the fraction

    x = 9

    He made 9 sandwiches
