Question

Every week, Franklin orders 8 cans of food for each cat at the local animal shelter.
Let c represent the number of cats and f represent the total number of cans of cat food.
Complete the table using the equation f=8c.
c f
3
4
5 40
6

Answer 1

To complete the table using the equation \( f = 8c \), we can calculate the total number of cans of food \( f \) for each given number of cats \( c \).

1. For \( c = 3 \): \[ f = 8 \times 3 = 24 \]

2. For \( c = 4 \): \[ f = 8 \times 4 = 32 \]

3. For \( c = 5 \): Given \( f = 40 \), which matches our equation since: \[ f = 8 \times 5 = 40 \]

4. For \( c = 6 \): \[ f = 8 \times 6 = 48 \]

Now we can fill in the table:

\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline c & f \ \hline 3 & 24 \ 4 & 32 \ 5 & 40 \ 6 & 48 \ \hline \end{array} \]
