What is the math equation for a family had for sandwiches to share among three people so each sandwich was cut into thirds how many sandwiches did each person eat

Answer 1

4 sandwiches for 3 people

each person gets 4/3 of a sandwich = 1 1/3 sandwiches

as each was cut in 1/3rds, each person ate 4 sandwiches where each sandwich was 1/3 of a full sandwhich

so the answer seems to be 4 or 1 1/3, depending on how you use the term "sandwich"

let p = the number of people

let S = total number of sandwiches

S/p = s = number of sandwiches each ate = 4/3 is probably the answer you want. although the problem is a little ambiguous

4/3 = 1 1/3 sandwiches per person
