i feel so stupid! but i don't know how to do it!

You need to divide 5.65 by 4.50 (the cost per pound), and then divide that by the number of sandwiches(which is 6.5).  Really, all you need to do is find out what 5.65 / $4.50 is, and then divide that by 6.5.

Sorry, I messed up.  You need to MULTIPLY 5.6.5 by $4.50 and then divide that by 6.5.
