Answer 1

The formula is A, t=2m. For example, let's say Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck go to the Roadside Restaurant and order three milkshakes, they would have six straws. You're able to find the number of straws by multiplying the number of milkshakes (m) by two. Since for every milkshake, you get two straws. In conclusion, yes, the answer is option A.
