Omar owns a sandwich shop, and his best selling sandwich is the BLT. When making BLT sandwiches, it takes of a pound of bacon to make 4 sandwiches. He uses pounds of bacon for every 2 tomatoes used and 5 tomatoes for every full head of lettuce used. If Omar is making enough BLT sandwiches to use 2 full heads of lettuce, then he is going to use pounds of bacon and will make a total of BLT sandwiches.

To calculate how many BLT sandwiches Omar will make and how much bacon he will need when using 2 full heads of lettuce, let's break it down step by step:

1. **Determine the number of tomatoes needed:**

Since Omar uses 5 tomatoes for every full head of lettuce, for 2 full heads of lettuce, he will need:
\[
\text{Tomatoes} = 5 \text{ tomatoes/head} \times 2 \text{ heads} = 10 \text{ tomatoes}
\]

2. **Calculate the amount of bacon needed:**

Omar uses \( \frac{1}{2} \) pound of bacon for every 2 tomatoes. Therefore, for 10 tomatoes:
\[
\text{Pounds of bacon} = \frac{1}{2} \text{ pound} \times \left( \frac{10 \text{ tomatoes}}{2 \text{ tomatoes}} \right) = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 = \frac{5}{2} \text{ pounds} = 2.5 \text{ pounds}
\]

3. **Determine the number of sandwiches made:**

It takes 1 pound of bacon to make 4 BLT sandwiches. Since Omar will use 2.5 pounds of bacon, the number of BLT sandwiches he can make is:
\[
\text{Sandwiches} = 4 \text{ sandwiches/pound} \times 2.5 \text{ pounds} = 10 \text{ sandwiches}
\]

In summary, if Omar is making enough BLT sandwiches to use 2 full heads of lettuce, then he is going to use **2.5 pounds of bacon** and will make a total of **10 BLT sandwiches**.

Let’s reevaluate the calculations step-by-step to ensure that we arrive at the correct answers.

1. **Tomatoes for 2 Heads of Lettuce:**
- Omar uses 5 tomatoes for every full head of lettuce.
- For 2 heads of lettuce:
\[
5 \text{ tomatoes/head} \times 2 \text{ heads} = 10 \text{ tomatoes}
\]

2. **Bacon Required for 10 Tomatoes:**
- Omar uses \( \frac{1}{2} \) pound of bacon for every 2 tomatoes.
- Therefore, for 10 tomatoes:
\[
\text{Pounds of bacon} = \frac{1}{2} \text{ pound per 2 tomatoes} \times \left( \frac{10 \text{ tomatoes}}{2} \right) = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 = \frac{5}{2} \text{ pounds} = 2.5 \text{ pounds}
\]

3. **Sandwiches from 2.5 Pounds of Bacon:**
- It takes 1 pound of bacon to make 4 BLT sandwiches.
- Since Omar will use 2.5 pounds of bacon:
\[
\text{Sandwiches} = 4 \text{ sandwiches/pound} \times 2.5 \text{ pounds} = 10 \text{ sandwiches}
\]

So, correctly confirmed:
- He uses **2.5 pounds of bacon**,
- He makes a total of **10 BLT sandwiches**.

Let’s go through each step carefully once more to make sure we get the correct pieces of information.

### Given Information:
1. **Bacon Requirement:** It takes 1 pound of bacon to make 4 sandwiches.
2. **Tomato and Bacon Relationship:** Omar uses \( \frac{1}{2} \) pound of bacon for every 2 tomatoes.
3. **Lettuce and Tomato Relationship:** Omar uses 5 tomatoes for every full head of lettuce.

### Step-by-Step Calculation:

1. **Calculate the Number of Tomatoes for 2 Heads of Lettuce:**
- For each head of lettuce, he uses 5 tomatoes.
- If he has 2 heads of lettuce:
\[
\text{Total Tomatoes} = 5 \text{ tomatoes/head} \times 2 \text{ heads} = 10 \text{ tomatoes}
\]

2. **Calculate the Amount of Bacon Needed for 10 Tomatoes:**
- Based on the information, Omar uses \( \frac{1}{2} \) pound of bacon for every 2 tomatoes.
- To find the total amount of bacon required for 10 tomatoes:
\[
\text{Pounds of Bacon} = \frac{1}{2} \text{ pound} \times \left( \frac{10 \text{ tomatoes}}{2 \text{ tomatoes}} \right) = \frac{1}{2} \text{ pound} \times 5 = \frac{5}{2} \text{ pounds} = 2.5 \text{ pounds}
\]

3. **Calculate the Total Number of BLT Sandwiches:**
- Since it takes 1 pound of bacon to make 4 sandwiches:
- For the 2.5 pounds of bacon:
\[
\text{Total Sandwiches} = 4 \text{ sandwiches/pound} \times 2.5 \text{ pounds} = 10 \text{ sandwiches}
\]

### Conclusion:
Omar will use **2.5 pounds of bacon** and make a total of **10 BLT sandwiches** if he uses enough ingredients for 2 full heads of lettuce.
