Question

Each year, Deerfield Middle School has an end-of-school barbecue. The cook grills 7 hamburgers for every 6 hot dogs. Complete the table. Hamburgers 7 28 49 Hot dogs Graph the data from the table

Answer 1

Given that the cook grills 7 hamburgers for every 6 hot dogs, the ratio is:

`\frac{6\text{ hot dogs}}{7\text{ hamburgers}}`

Then, if 28 hamburgers are cooked, the number of hot dogs cooked is

`28\text{ hamburgers}\cdot\frac{6\text{ hot dogs}}{7\text{ hamburgers}}=24\text{ hot dogs}`

Then, if 49 hamburgers are cooked, the number of hot dogs cooked is

`49\text{ hamburgers}\cdot\frac{6\text{ hot dogs}}{7\text{ hamburgers}}=42\text{ hot dogs}`

The table is:

Hamburgers | Hot dogs

7 | 6

28 | 24

49 | 42

And the graph is
