Answer 1

Choice C: 30 jars of honey and 9 honeycombs and Choice B: 20 jars of honey and 6 honeycombs

Explanation:

This explanation is quite simple:

(I am going to explain how the other answers are correct to give you an idea)

Choice B:

So we know for every 10 jars [of honey], he also bring 3 honeycomb

In this case 20 jars are brought and 6 honeycombs are as well. Looking at the original problem, these numbers are simply doubled (times two/multiplied by two) Here:

10 x 2 = 20 and 3 x 2 = 6 which is reasonable!

Choice C:

So we know for every 10 jars [of honey], he also bring 3 honeycomb

This case is very similar to B, except our values are tripled.

10 x 3 = 30 and 3 x 3 = 9, which are correct and reasonable statements.

I hope this is understandable and helps! Good luck :D
