A meat slicer is designed to make slices that are 0.04 inches thick. If a sausage is 10 inches long, how many slices will result?

Since the meat slicer is designed to cut 0.04-inch thick slices,

[tex]\frac{10in}{0.04in}=250[/tex]Therefore, if the sausage is 10 inches long, 250 slices will result.
