Last year, Eric grew 48 tomatoes in his garden. This year, he grew 7/8 of that number of tomatoes in his garden. Which statement is true? A. Eric grew 7 times the number of tomatoes this year that he grew last year
B. Eric grew slightly fewer tomatoes this year than he did last year
C. Eric grew 8 times the number of tomatoes this year that he grew last year

the law of definite proportions states samples of a compound will always contain the same proportion of elements by mass. in other words, a given compound will always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass.the law of multiple proportions states when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, then the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
