If we are to consider the number of slices of bread first,

number of sandwiches = (28 slices of bread) (1 sandwich / 2 slices of bread)

number of sandwiches = 14 sandwiches

If we are to consider the number of slices of cheese

number of sandwiches = (45 slices of cheese) (1 sandwich / 3 slices of cheese)

number of sandwiches = 15 sandwiches

Since, 14 is smaller than 15 then, 14 is the answer.

Answer: 14 sandwiches
