Answer 1

To find the value of $x$ in the table, we need to determine the ratio of ounces of water to the number of lemons. We can do this using the provided ratios in the table.

From the table, we will pick one of the ratios to establish a relationship. Let's use the ratio of 18 ounces of water to 3 lemons:

$$\text{Ratio}=\frac{18\text{ ounces of water}}{3\text{ lemons}}=6\text{ ounces of water per lemon.}$$

Now, we will use this ratio to find $x$ when there are 24 ounces of water:

$$\frac{24\text{ ounces of water}}{x\text{ lemons}}=6\text{ ounces per lemon}.$$

Now, we can solve for $x$:

$$24=6x.$$

Dividing both sides by 6 gives:

$$x=\frac{24}{6}=4.$$

Therefore, the value of $x$ is $4$.

The answer is A. 04.
