Use the table to answer the question. Coups 1 2 3 4 5 Chickens 10 20 30 40 50 There are 10 chickens in each coup on Mr. Tiki’s farm. A ratio table has been created to determine how many chickens there are in 5 coups. 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 ratio evaluate to 15. The table has been set up correctly because all ratios in the table ratio evaluate to 1 fifth. - no response given The table is set up correctly because all the ratios in the table can be simplified to 110. The table is set up correctly because all the ratios in the table can be simplified to 1 tenth. - no response given The table is set up correctly because at least two ratios in the table can be simplified to 110.

Answer 1

To evaluate whether the ratio table is set up correctly, we start by examining the table given:

• Coups: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
• Chickens: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50

We can check the ratios:

• Ratio of coups to chickens for each entry:
  1. 1 coup : 10 chickens (1:10)
  2. 2 coups : 20 chickens (2:20) simplifies to (1:10)
  3. 3 coups : 30 chickens (3:30) simplifies to (1:10)
  4. 4 coups : 40 chickens (4:40) simplifies to (1:10)
  5. 5 coups : 50 chickens (5:50) simplifies to (1:10)

All entries in the table simplify to the ratio of 1:10.

Examining the responses provided, the correct assessment of the ratio table is:

• "The table has been set up correctly because all ratios in the table can be simplified to 1 tenth."

This response accurately reflects that the ratios do indeed simplify to the same value of 1:10.
