To determine if the ratio table is set up correctly, let's analyze the information given in the table.
The table shows the following:
- For 1 coup, there are 10 chickens.
- For 2 coups, there are 20 chickens.
- For 3 coups, there are 30 chickens.
- For 4 coups, there are 40 chickens.
- For 5 coups, there are 50 chickens.
This indicates that there are 10 chickens per coup consistently across the coups.
Now, if we look at the ratio of coups to chickens:
- 1 coup : 10 chickens
- 2 coups : 20 chickens
- 3 coups : 30 chickens
- 4 coups : 40 chickens
- 5 coups : 50 chickens
The ratios can be simplified to:
- 1:10
- 2:20 simplifies to 1:10
- 3:30 simplifies to 1:10
- 4:40 simplifies to 1:10
- 5:50 simplifies to 1:10
Hence, all ratios simplify to the same ratio of 1:10, which means the table is set up correctly.
Based on the options presented, the correct response is:
The table is set up correctly because all the ratios in the table can be simplified to Start Fraction 1 over 10 End Fraction.
