O O slices of bread slices of cheese What quantity of the ingredient in excess remains ?

Answer 1

Given 2 slices of bread and 3 suces of cheese = 1 Sandwich * :. 36 slices of bread woud require 36 slices of brood x 3 slices of cheese 2 suces of bread = 54 slices of cheese. 51 slices of cheese would require 51 slices of cheese x a suces of bread 3 slices of cheese - 34 Suices of bread 36 Ctiven slices = of Bread Required suces = of Bread. 34 Given slices - 51 of cheese G Required slices = 54 of cheese. Limiting Ingredient = Excess Ingredient slices of cheese are limiting Since given-Required = 51-54 = -3 (less by 3 ) suces of bread are in excess. 2 suces of bread are in excess. Since - Given - Required = 36-34-2 (Excess by 2)

* Thus to determine the total number of sandwiches limiting ingredient has to be considered. limiting ingredient - slice of cheese. 3 suces of cheese are required to prepare I sandwich 6. 51 slees of cheese would form 51 slices of cheese Isandwich 3 suces of cheese. - 1 sandwiches Total = 17 sandwiches.
