Question

A sandwich shop offers 4 different meats and 2 different cheeses. Suppose the sandwich shop offers 24 different meat-cheese sandwiches. How many different breads does the sandwich shop use?

Answer 1

Explanation:

You would do this question like this.

4 meats * 2 cheeses * x breads = 24 different kinds of sandwiches.

8x = 24

8x/8 = 24/8

x = 3

There are 3 different kinds of breads.
