Larry makes sandwiches for lunch everyday. He can make 6 sandwiches with every 3 tomatoes he buys. If he bought 6 tomatoes, how many sandwiches could he make

He could make 12 sandwiches

12 sandwiches

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a proportion

He can make 6 sandwiches with 3 tomatoes, and x sandwiches with 6 tomatoes

6/3=x/6

Multiply both sides by 6 to isolate the variable, x

6*6/3=x/6*6

12=x

So, with 6 tomatoes, he can make 12 sandwiches
