Question

The table below shows the number of babies and adults at a nursery which represents the number of babiesBabies 8 12 16 20Adults 2 3 4 5adults x 6adults x 4adults + 4adults +6

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Number of babies is represented by

adults * 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To know which of the options represents the number of babies, let us compare the number of babies with the number of adults.

When babies are 8, adults are 2

The difference is 8 - 2 = 6

When babies are 12, adults are 3

The difference is 12 - 3 = 9

When babies are 16, adults are 4

The difference is 16 - 4 = 12

and so on

Note that:

2 * 4 = 8

3 * 4 = 12

4 * 4 = 16

(Number of adults) * 4 = (Number of babies)

Number of babies is adults * 4
