To determine which statements best describe the pattern shown in the table, let's analyze the information given.
From the table:
- When there is 1 chicken, there are 12 eggs.
- When there are 2 chickens, there are 24 eggs.
- When there are 3 chickens, there are 36 eggs.
- When there are 4 chickens, there are 48 eggs.
- When there are 5 chickens, there are 60 eggs.
Now, let's evaluate each statement:
1. **The number of eggs is 12 times the number of chickens.**
This statement is incorrect. The number of eggs is 12 times the number of chickens (i.e., when 1 chicken lays 12 eggs, 2 chickens lay 24 eggs, etc.), but this is not true in the strict interpretation as multiplication. The actual relationship is: Number of eggs = 12 × Number of chickens.
2. **The number of chickens is 12 less than the number of eggs.**
This statement is incorrect. For example, when there are 1 chicken (12 eggs), the difference is 11, not 12.
3. **Each chicken lays 12 eggs.**
This statement is correct. Based on the data, each chicken lays 12 eggs since the number of eggs increases by 12 for each additional chicken.
4. **The number of eggs is odd.**
This statement is incorrect. All numbers of eggs provided in the table (12, 24, 36, 48, 60) are even.
Based on this analysis, the correct statement is:
- Each chicken lays 12 eggs.
So the answer is:
- Each chicken lays 12 eggs.
