Answer 1

To find the relationship between the number of stitches and the length, we can look for a consistent factor or multiply.

Let's analyze the data from the table given:

- For Length 1 cm, Stitches = 7.
- For Length 3 cm, Stitches = 21.
- For Length 4 cm, Stitches = 28.
- For Length 6 cm, Stitches = 42.

Now let's check if there's a consistent multiplier:

- **1 cm**: 7 stitches (7 * 1 = 7)
- **3 cm**: 21 stitches (7 * 3 = 21)
- **4 cm**: 28 stitches (7 * 4 = 28)
- **6 cm**: 42 stitches (7 * 6 = 42)

We can see that the number of stitches is consistently 7 times the length of the row.

Therefore, the correct response would be:
**The number of stitches is 7 times the length.**
