Answer:
8/xy canisters
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to determine the number of breadcrumbs a single canister can produce
Lets assume a single canister to produce x number of breadcrumbs
Lets also assume that a single breadcrumb can produce y meatloafs
So a single canister can produce x by y meatloafs
1 canister= xy meatloafs
?= 8 meatloafs------------------cross multiply
=8/xy
=Hence 8/xy canisters will produce 8 meatloafs
