We had 11 sandwiches. Everyone ate 1/4 sandwich for a snack. How many people had snack?

Question

first you subtract the you get your answer and reduce or simply please and thank you you are the best thanks again please solve.

Answer 1

When we have a setup where each person gets an equal portion of the whole, that tells us that we're dividing. In this case, the whole is 11 sandwiches, and the equal portion is ¹/₄ of each sandwich.

So that means we divide 11 by ¹/₄ to solve:

11 ÷ ¹/₄

 

Now, when we divide by a fraction, we flip it and multiply:

11 * ⁴/₁ → 11 * 4

Multiply the two numbers together, and you get your final answer.
