8. Your family packs a cooler with snacks and drinks for the trip but stops for two meals on the way. If there are 4 people in your family, and each person spends 6.50 on each meal, what is the total cost the meals on the way to the destination? 9. Your car passes through 5 toll booths on the

To calculate the total cost for the meals, you can multiply the number of people (4) by the cost per meal ($6.50) and then multiply that by the number of meals (2). So, \(4 \times 6.50 \times 2 = 52\). The total cost for the meals on the way to your destination is $52. As for the tolls, assuming each toll costs a certain amount (let's say $2 per booth), you would multiply that by the number of toll booths (5). Thus, \(2 \times 5 = 10\). If the tolls are indeed $2 each, then your total toll cost would be $10.
