Question

at a restaurant grand opening, a giant sandwich that was 352 centimeters long was divided equally among 22 people. clyde got one of the pieces, ate half, and saved half for later. match each equation to what it means in this context. equation meaning $a = 352$ the length, in cm, of the sandwich per person $b = 352div22$ the length, in cm, of the whole sandwich $c = 352div22div2$ the length, in cm, of the part of the sandwich clyde saved

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the total length

The giant - sandwich is 352 cm long. So the equation $a = 352$ represents the length, in cm, of the whole sandwich.

Step2: Analyze the length per person

The 352 - cm long sandwich is divided equally among 22 people. The length of the sandwich per person is calculated by $b=352\div22$.

Step3: Analyze the length Clyde saved

Clyde got one of the pieces (length of one piece is $352\div22$) and saved half of it. So the length of the part of the sandwich Clyde saved is $c = 352\div22\div2$.

Answer:

$a = 352$ - The length, in cm, of the whole sandwich
$b = 352\div22$ - The length, in cm, of the sandwich per person
$c = 352\div22\div2$ - The length, in cm, of the part of the sandwich Clyde saved
