Question

You pack sandwiches for a 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?

Answer 1

Given that:-

→ 1 sandwich = 2 slices of bread.

→ 1 hiker = 1 sandwich.

→ Then we have to find number of bread slices for n hikers .

→ Number of bread slices for 1 hiker = 2

→ Number of bread slices for 2 hikers = 2 × 2

→ For 3 hikers = 3 × 2

So in similar way

→ Number of bread slices for n hikers = 2×n → 2n

So 2n is the answer.
