Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:
Let's take this problem step-by-step:
What information does the problem give us:
[tex]\hookrightarrow \text{Sarah has six pounds of ham}[/tex]
[tex]\hookrightarrow \text{Must be used to make 18 sandwiches}\\[/tex]
What does the problem want us to find:
[tex]\hookrightarrow \text{how many pounds of ham per sandwich}[/tex]
Let's solve:
[tex]\hookrightarrow \text{pounds of ham per sandwich} \\\\ = \dfrac{\text{total amount of ham}}{\text{number of sandwich}} \\\\=\dfrac{6}{18} =\dfrac{1}{3} \text{ pound of ham per sandwich}[/tex]
In other words:
⇒ each sandwich has one-third pound of ham
Answer: (B)
Hope that helps!
