Answer 1

To find the relationship between the number of stitches and the length of the row, we can look for a consistent multiplier between the two variables.

Let's analyze the data provided:

- For 5 stitches, the length is 1 cm:
\[
\frac{5}{1} = 5
\]

- For 15 stitches, the length is 3 cm:
\[
\frac{15}{3} = 5
\]

- For 20 stitches, the length is 4 cm:
\[
\frac{20}{4} = 5
\]

- For 30 stitches, the length is 6 cm:
\[
\frac{30}{6} = 5
\]

In each case, the number of stitches is 5 times the length.

Thus, the correct relationship is:

**The number of stitches is 5 times the length.**
