The ratio table below shows the number of eggs per omelet. Omelets Number of eggs Number of omelets 18? 9 3 6 2 3 1 How many omelets can be made with 18 eggs

For this case we have the following table:

Number of eggs Number of omelets

18?

9 3

6 2

3 1

We observe that the function is linear.

The equation of the line is:

y-yo = m (x-xo)

Where,

m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

m = (6-3) / (2-1)

m = (3) / (1)

m = 3

(xo, yo) = (1, 3)

Substituting:

y-3 = 3 (x-1)

Rewriting:

y = 3x - 3 + 3

y = 3x

For 18 eggs we have:

18 = 3x

Clearing x:

x = 18/3

x = 6

Answer:

you can make 6 omelets with 18 eggs
