The fewest number of pieces he needs of each kind of sub sandwich to make them equal is three. He will need three pieces of each sub sandwich to make them equal. 3 pieces of turkey 3 pieces of roast beef 3 pieces of ham
When something is cut into equal pieces, (think of a pie), the pieces are larger the fewer pieces there are. If the pie is cut in half, that is an entire HALF of the pie one has to eat. But if the pie is cut into three equal pieces, there are more pieces, but they are smaller. So, one fourth of the pie would be even smaller because you are getting ONE piece of a pie that is cut into FOUR pieces. The bottom number of the fraction is how many equal sized pieces there are, and the top number is how many you are getting.
Three ! The answer is in the question !
While many shapes can be divided into more than four equal pieces, the most common shape with that characteristic would be a pentagon, which has five equal pieces, or fifths. Another shape that would be divided into a different amount of equal pieces would be a triangle, with three equal pieces or thirs. And a third would be a hexagon, with six equal pieces, or sixths.

A triangle with three equal sides and three equal angles is called an equilateral triangle.
3. trisect means three
Two thirds of whatever that something is. In other words, if you can divide something into three equal pieces, then two of those three pieces would be equal to two thirds of the original quantity. It works very well with pies. For example, let's say that you have three people getting together to eat an apple pie. You divide it into three equal parts and give one slice to each person. Let us say that two of these pie eating people are men, and one is a woman. Perhaps it is a husband, a wife, and their chubby son. We could then observe that two thirds of the pie is being served to men, and one third is served to a woman.
A triangle that has three equal sides, and therefore three equal angles, is called an equilateral triangle.
