1 sub is divided into thirds, so there are now 3 parts to each sub. Multiply the three parts per sub by the total number of subs purchased.

Find # Parts Per Sub
= 1 sub ÷ 1/3
multiply by the reciprocal of 1/3
= 1 * 3/1
= 3 parts per sub

Find Total Parts
= 8 subs * 3 parts per sub
= 24 mini subs

ANSWER: 24 mini subs
