Explanation:

Mrs. Marks has 1 8/7 pounds of cheese and she uses 1/32 pounds on each sandwich. 1 8/7 pounds is the same as 15/7 pounds. Hence, to find out how many sandwiches she can make, we need to divide the total cheese available by the amount of cheese she uses per sandwich.

To do this, we can use standard division. Here's how:

  1. Convert 15/7 to an improper fraction to get 15/7.
  2. Divide 15/7 by 1/32 to find out how many sandwiches can be made.
  3. 15/7 divided by 1/32 equals 224.

Thus, Mrs. Marks can make 224 sandwiches with the cheese she has. So, the correct answer is A) 224 sandwiches.
