Use the table to answer the question. Cartons 1 2 3 4 5 Eggs 12 24 36 48 60 There are 12 eggs in a carton of eggs. A ratio table has been created to determine how many eggs there are in 5 cartons. Is this ratio table set up correctly? Responses The table has been set up correctly because the first and last ratios are equivalent. The table has been set up correctly because the first and last ratios are equivalent. - no response given The table has been set up correctly because all ratios in the table simplify to 16. The table has been set up correctly because all ratios in the table simplify to 1 sixth. - no response given The table is set up correctly because at least two ratios in the table can be simplified to 112. The table is set up correctly because at least two ratios in the table can be simplified to 1 over 12. - no response given The table is set up correctly because all the ratios in the table can be simplified to 112.

1 answer

To determine if the ratio table is set up correctly, we first need to check the ratios given in the table.

The ratio of cartons to eggs can be calculated as follows:

  • For 1 carton: 1:12
  • For 2 cartons: 2:24 (which simplifies to 1:12)
  • For 3 cartons: 3:36 (which simplifies to 1:12)
  • For 4 cartons: 4:48 (which simplifies to 1:12)
  • For 5 cartons: 5:60 (which simplifies to 1:12)

All ratios in the table simplify to 1:12.

Based on this analysis, the correct option would be:

The table is set up correctly because all ratios in the table can be simplified to 1:12.
