Meg paid 9 for 2 tuna sandwiches. at the same rate, how much does meg pay for 8 tuna sandwiches?

Hey You!

I assume Meg paid 9 dollars for 2 tuna sandwhiches.

9 × 4 = 36

(We multiply by 4 and not 8 because she paid that much for every 2 sandwhiches).

Meg pays $36 for 8 tuna sandwiches.

Divide 9 by 2 to give you the price. This will give you $4.50 for each tuna sandwich.
Multiply $4.50 by 8 and this will give you $36.
Hope this helps!! ^v^

the law of definite proportions states samples of a compound will always contain the same proportion of elements by mass. in other words, a given compound will always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass.the law of multiple proportions states when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, then the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
