To find out how many tomatoes are needed for 5 eggs, we can use the ratio given in the problem. The ratio states that there is 1 egg for every 2 tomatoes.
If we have 1 egg, we need 2 tomatoes.
If we have 2 eggs, we need 4 tomatoes.
Since the ratio is consistent, we can conclude that for every n eggs, we need 2n tomatoes.
Therefore, for 5 eggs, we would need 2 * 5 = 10 tomatoes.
So, there are 10 tomatoes needed.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows two number lines with seven ticks marked on them at equal distances. The first number line, labeled tomatoes, has the first two ticks on the left marked as 0 and 2, respectively. The second number line, labeled eggs, has the first, second, and sixth ticks marked as 0, 1, and 5, respectively.
