We know that we have 27 sandwiches with a total of 12 pounds of turkey. In order to find out how much turkey are on each sandwiches we can follow this route:
Lets create a simple ratio based on the information that we have. Lets call x the amount of turkey needed in 1 sandwich.
If 27 sandwiches need 12 pounds of turkey,
then 1 sandwich needs x pound of turkey.
Cross multiply to create equations, so 27 times x equal to 12 times 1.
27x=12
Divide both sides with 27.
27x/27 = 12/27
x=0.44 pound
