Answer 1

To determine the ratio of Option B, we need to look at the points plotted for Option B, which are (9, 6), (18, 12), and (27, 18).

From these points, we can form a consistent ratio of oranges to dollars.

1. From the point (9, 6), we can see that 9 oranges correspond to 6 dollars.
2. From (18, 12), 18 oranges correspond to 12 dollars.
3. From (27, 18), 27 oranges correspond to 18 dollars.

All these points express the same ratio:

• 9 oranges for every 6 dollars.

Thus, the correct response regarding the ratio of Option B is:

9 oranges for every 6 dollars.
