In the sandwich problem, how many 1/3 size pieces does Erica have after cutting?

• 18

• 21

• 12

• 15

How can you verify the solution to the sandwich problem using multiplication?

• By adding the number of sandwiches and pieces.

• By dividing the dividend by the quotient.

• By subtracting the divisor from the quotient.

• By multiplying the quotient and divisor to check if it equals the dividend.

• 3

• 4

• 5

• 6

What is the first step in solving the pie problem using diagrams?

• Add the number of pies and halves.

• Divide each pie into quarters.

• Draw three circles to represent the pies.

• Multiply the number of pies by three.
