To make fried green tomatoes, Thelma cuts each green tomato into 8 slices before cooking them up. If 20 slices of fried green tomato make a meal for a single person, how many tomatoes will Thelma need to make enough fried green tomatoes to feed a family of 8 for a single meal?
Use reasoning to answer the following question.
20
If 20 slices are sufficient for a meal to feed a single person, then to feed eight Thelma will need 8 * 20 = 160 slices of tomato.

At 8 slices per tomato, Thelma will need 160 / 8 = 20 tomatoes to feed a family of 8.

The answer is 20
