Let's analyze the given table closely to identify the correct statements about the relationship between the number of chickens and the number of eggs.
From the data provided:
- 1 chicken produces 12 eggs.
- 2 chickens produce 24 eggs.
- 3 chickens produce 36 eggs.
- 4 chickens produce 48 eggs.
- 5 chickens produce 60 eggs.
Based on this, we can make the following observations:
-
The number of eggs is directly proportional to the number of chickens; specifically, each chicken produces 12 eggs. This means that if you multiply the number of chickens by 12, you get the number of eggs.
-
The statement "The number of eggs is 12 times the number of chickens" is accurate. For instance, for 2 chickens, \( 2 \times 12 = 24 \) eggs.
-
The statement "The number of chickens is 12 less than the number of eggs" is not accurate. For example, 1 chicken (1) and 12 eggs (12) does not mean chickens are 12 less than eggs, as this would imply a mathematical equation that does not hold (12 - 1 = 11, not true).
-
The statement "Each chicken lays 12 eggs" is correct based on the pattern shown in the table.
-
The statement "The number of eggs is odd" is incorrect as all values listed represent even numbers.
Therefore, the correct responses based on the analysis are:
- The number of eggs is 12 times the number of chickens.
- Each chicken lays 12 eggs.
(Note: The responses appear to have duplicate statements; it's assumed these were not intended to be separate choices).
