Answer:

This question contains some errors; the correct question is:

You pack sandwiches for a mountain hike with your friends. Each sandwich takes 2 slices of bread, and each hiker eats one sandwich. How many slices of bread are used for n hikers? Write your answer as an expression.

The answer is:

(2n) slices of bread for n hikers

Explanation:

According to the question, sandwiches packed for a mountain hike with friends is made of two (2) slices of bread.

Each hiker gets one sandwich

This, n hikers will get n× 1 sandwich

= (n) sandwiches.

If 1 sandwich contains 2 slices of bread, then (n) sandwiches for n hikers will contain:

(2 × n) slices of bread

That is, (2n) slices of bread.

The expression is (2n).
