Miss sarah only wants one half of a sandwich she says mr. tom will need one 16th of a pound of cheese for her sandwich mr. tom says he will need 1/8 of a pound of cheese for miss sarah who is correct explain how you know. plz hurry i need to know this for a test

Aprroximately 1 pound equals 4 cups of cheese. With that in account,

1 lb = 4 cups
1/8 lb = X
X= 4*1/8
X= 4/8
X=1/2 cup
OR
1 lb =4 cups
1/16 lb = X
X=4 * 1/16
X= 4/16
X=1/4 cup

I may go with 1/16 of a pound as that is lesser cheese than 1/8. Hope this helps.

Miss Sarah because one 16th is half of one 8
