Elizabeth Walton · Answer 1

4 pounds of cheese = 32 / 8 pounds of cheese;

(32 / 8) : (1 / 8) = 32 sandwiches;

Collin Mitchell · Answer 2

1/8 tells me that you can make 8 sandwiches per pound,

since you have 4 pounds, just multiply 8 x 4 = 32

You can make 32 sandwiches.

May I have one, I'm getting hungry?
