To calculate how much roast beef Lawrence used for this sandwich, multiply the total amount of roast beef he bought by amount of roast beef he used to make a sandwich. Since Lawrence bought ⅔ pound of roast beef and he used ¾ of it to make a sandwich, the product is 2/4 or ½ pound.
Solution;
> ⅔ * ¾
> 2*3 / 3*4
> 6/ 12 or ½
Lawrence used ½ pound of roast beef to use for his sandwich.
