Help Sandy figure out how many slices of each ingredient she will need for

each order.
1. The Smiths ordered 22 Porky sandwiches for a party. For each
ingredient, write in how many slices are needed to make 22
sandwiches.
As you begin, think about:

A Porky sandwich has:
8 Ham slices
6 cheese slices
4 lettuce slices
3 tomato slices
How much of each ingredient is needed for 1 sandwich?
How can you figure out how much is needed to make 22 sandwiches?

1 answer

To determine how many slices of each ingredient Sandy will need for 22 Porky sandwiches, we start by calculating the amount needed for one sandwich and then multiply that figure by 22.

Here's the breakdown:

  1. Ingredients needed for 1 Porky sandwich:

    • Ham: 8 slices
    • Cheese: 6 slices
    • Lettuce: 4 slices
    • Tomato: 3 slices
  2. Now, let's calculate the total needed for 22 sandwiches:

    • Ham: \(8 \text{ slices} \times 22 = 176 \text{ slices}\)
    • Cheese: \(6 \text{ slices} \times 22 = 132 \text{ slices}\)
    • Lettuce: \(4 \text{ slices} \times 22 = 88 \text{ slices}\)
    • Tomato: \(3 \text{ slices} \times 22 = 66 \text{ slices}\)
  3. Final totals for 22 Porky sandwiches:

    • Ham: 176 slices
    • Cheese: 132 slices
    • Lettuce: 88 slices
    • Tomato: 66 slices

So, for the Smiths' order of 22 Porky sandwiches, Sandy will need:

  • 176 slices of ham
  • 132 slices of cheese
  • 88 slices of lettuce
  • 66 slices of tomato
