For a party 20 sandwiches are being made if each sandwich is cut into thirds how many sandwich pieces are there?

Well let’s simplify the problem.

If we take one sandwich it would be 1: and if we add the fact that for every one sandwich 3 new sandwiches were made, we can make a 1:3 ratio. If for every 1 sandwich there are 3 more sandwiches then we would multiply the beginning amount of 20 sandwiches to both numbers in the ratio so it stays equivalent.

1 x 20 = 20

3 x 20 = 60

So we can say now that the ratio for 20 sandwich pieces there are 60 new sandwich pieces.

The new ratio being 20:60 thus the amount of sandwiches after they were cut in thirds is 60 sandwiches

Answer = 60 sandwiches

There would be 60 sandwich pieces.
