To understand the packing rate of pickles into jars, we can derive a relationship based on the information given.
Given that the family packs 80 pickles per jar, we can express the number of pickles (y) in terms of the number of jars (x) using the formula:
\[ y = 80x \]
where:
- \( y \) is the total number of pickles,
- \( x \) is the number of jars.
To create a table of values, we can substitute various integers for \( x \) (the number of jars) to find the corresponding values for \( y \) (the number of pickles):
| Number of Jars (x) | Number of Pickles (y = 80x) | |---------------------|-----------------------------| | 1 | 80 | | 2 | 160 | | 3 | 240 | | 4 | 320 | | 5 | 400 |
From the table, you can see that for each jar packed with 80 pickles, the total number of pickles increases by 80 for each additional jar.
The two correct answers that represent the relationship between the number of pickles and the number of jars (at a rate of 80 per jar) could be:
- The equation \( y = 80x \).
- A reference to the table above where as you increase the number of jars, the number of pickles increases accordingly.
