Answer:

5. (6 hours)/(1 day)

6. (8 quarts)/(1 container)

Explanation:

5. The number line shows both hours and days. It does not indicate why the relationship exists. Perhaps the hours are the ones worked in a day. What’s important is whether the relationship between the two is the same for all data pairs. E.g., 12/2 = 6; 36/6 = 6; 60/6 - 5, and so forth. They are all the same ratio, or rate: (6 hours)/(1 day)

6. The number line shows both quarts and containers. The relationship between the two is the same for all data pairs. E.g., 8/5, 16/10 or 8/5; 24/15 or 8/5; 32/20 or 8/5, and 40/25 or 8/5. They are all the same ratio, or rate: (8 quarts)/(1 container).
