The Smith family has a two-and-a-half-foot-long sandwich to share. One-half foot of the sandwich will serve one person. How many one-half foot servings are in this sandwich?
To find the amount of servings, we divide the total sandwich by the amount given to one person: 2 1/2 / 1/2 This can simplify into: 5/2 / 1/2 Dividing a fraction is basically multiplying it's flipped side: 5/2 * 2 10/2 = 5 There are 5 servings in the sandwich
