Question

Larry makes sandwiches for lunch everyday. He can make 5 sandwiches with every 3 tomatoes he buys. If he bought 9 tomatoes, how many sandwiches could he make?

Answer 1

So a quick an easy way to solve this is my figuring out what you need to multiple 3 by to get 9, and multiply that same number by 5 to get your total sandwiches. There is a more technical way to solve this, but I cannot think of it at the moment. Give me just a second

Answer 2

so than you know the rule of 3 simple you can write

5 sandwiches with 3 tomatoes
x sandwiches with 9 tomatoes so cross multiplie and clacule the x value

x = 9*5 / 3 = ?

hope helped understandably easy
