Question

1. craig bought a 3-foot-long baguette and then made 4 equally sized sandwiches with it.

a. what portion of the baguette was used for each sandwich? draw a visual model to help you solve this problem.
b. how long, in feet, is one of craig’s sandwiches?

Explanation:

Step1: Find portion per sandwich

Divide 1 whole by 4 parts:
$\frac{1}{4}$

Step2: Calculate length per sandwich

Divide total length by 4:
$\frac{3}{4} = 0.75$

Answer:

a. Each sandwich uses $\frac{1}{4}$ of the baguette. The provided visual model (a rectangle split into 4 equal sections labeled $\frac{1}{4}$ each) correctly represents this equal division.
b. $\frac{3}{4}$ feet (or 0.75 feet)
