Question

Devorah owns a bakery. To make a certain shade of green butter cream icing, Devorah uses drops of yellow food coloring for each drop of blue food coloring. She writes down the equation to represent the relationship.

Complete the table below to represent this relationship.
Green Icing Drops of Blue Food Coloring 1 2 3 5
Drops of Yellow Food Coloring 6 12

Answer 1

To complete the table based on the relationship provided (which states that Devorah uses 6 drops of yellow food coloring for each drop of blue food coloring), we can determine the drops of yellow food coloring corresponding to each number of drops of blue food coloring.

The relationship can be represented by the equation:

\[ \text{Drops of Yellow} = 6 \times \text{Drops of Blue} \]

Using this relationship, we can fill in the missing values in the table:

1. For 1 drop of blue:
\( \text{Drops of Yellow} = 6 \times 1 = 6 \)

2. For 2 drops of blue:
\( \text{Drops of Yellow} = 6 \times 2 = 12 \)

3. For 3 drops of blue:
\( \text{Drops of Yellow} = 6 \times 3 = 18 \)

4. For 4 drops of blue:
\( \text{Drops of Yellow} = 6 \times 4 = 24 \)

5. For 5 drops of blue:
\( \text{Drops of Yellow} = 6 \times 5 = 30 \)

Now, we can represent the completed table:

| Green Icing | Drops of Blue Food Coloring | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|-------------------------------|-----------------------------|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drops of Yellow Food Coloring | | 6 | 12| 18| 24| 30|

This table shows the correct amount of yellow food coloring needed for each corresponding amount of blue food coloring.
