Answer:

Jon put on each sandwich [tex]\frac{3}{8}\ pounds[/tex] of meat

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Adds the pounds of ham and the pounds of turkey

[tex]\frac{7}{8} +1\frac{3}{8}= \frac{7}{8} +\frac{11}{8}=\frac{18}{8}\ pounds[/tex]

step 2

Find the 1/6 of the meat

[tex](\frac{1}{6})\frac{18}{8}=\frac{3}{8}\ pounds[/tex]

therefore

Jon put on each sandwich [tex]\frac{3}{8}\ pounds[/tex] of meat
