To determine the best description of the ratio of the number of beehives per acre, we would need to look at the specific data in the table mentioned in your question. However, without that data, I'll explain how you can approach this problem:

  1. Calculating the Ratio: To find out how many beehives there are per acre, you divide the number of beehives by the number of acres. For example, if the table indicates 100 beehives on 40 acres, the ratio would be calculated as follows:

    \[ \text{Beehives per acre} = \frac{\text{Number of beehives}}{\text{Number of acres}} \]

    In this case:

    \[ \text{Beehives per acre} = \frac{100}{40} = 2.5 \text{ beehives per acre} \]

You would then choose option C, if this were the case.

  1. Choosing a Coordinate Pair: For the coordinate pair, this usually refers to a point on the graph where the x-axis represents the number of acres and the y-axis represents the number of beehives. Again, we can't calculate without the data, but if you want to choose a coordinate pair that seems appropriate or plausible based on the existing data, you should look for a point that maintains the ratio found in question 1.

If you provide me with the specific data from the table, I could give a more precise answer for both questions.

Without the specific table data, I can't definitively choose a response, but if I have to make a selection based solely on general reasoning, here’s a possible approach:

  1. For Question 1: Choose the option that seems the most reasonable based on a common scenario in agricultural settings. A common density might be around 2 to 3 beehives per acre, depending on the type of crop and local practices. If I were to guess, I would select C (2.5 beehives per acre) since it falls within a reasonable range.

  2. For Question 2: Without knowing the context or the original coordinates from the table, I would choose a coordinate pair that is likely to be logical based on the ratios. Again, a good guess could be B (125, 50), assuming 125 acres is a reasonable size for an orchard and 50 beehives fits within a plausible ratio (if we consider a previous ratio of 2 beehives per acre).

However, please check the table data for confirmation, as these are hypothetical choices based on typical scenarios.
