Question

1. thomas makes 5 sandwiches that he cuts into thirds. how many \\(\frac{1}{3}\\)-size sandwich pieces does he have? \\(\text{teks 5.31}\\) \\(\text{a}\\) 8 \\(\text{b}\\) \\(\frac{4}{3}\\) \\(\text{c}\\) 2 \\(\text{d}\\) 15

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the problem

Thomas makes 5 sandwiches and cuts each into thirds. We need to find the total number of \(\frac{1}{3}\)-size sandwich pieces.

Step2: Calculate pieces per sandwich

Each sandwich cut into thirds means 1 sandwich gives \(1\div\frac{1}{3} = 3\) pieces (or simply, since cutting into thirds, each sandwich has 3 pieces of \(\frac{1}{3}\) size).

Step3: Calculate total pieces for 5 sandwiches

Multiply the number of pieces per sandwich (3) by the number of sandwiches (5): \(3\times5 = 15\).
