Question

tartlets baked
how many additional eggs does sophia need in order to bake a total of 70 tartlets?
40 additional eggs
90 additional eggs
60 additional eggs
30 additional eggs

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the target value on the y - axis

We need to find the number of additional eggs when the number of tartlets is 70. So we look at the y - axis (Number of tartlets) and find the point where the number of tartlets is 70.

Step2: Find the corresponding x - value

From the graph, we draw a horizontal line from \(y = 70\) (number of tartlets) until it intersects the line representing the relationship between the number of additional eggs and the number of tartlets. Then we draw a vertical line down to the x - axis (Number of additional eggs). We can see that when the number of tartlets is 70, the corresponding number of additional eggs is 30? Wait, no, wait. Wait, the y - intercept is 40 (when x = 0, y = 40). Let's find the equation of the line. The slope \(m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\). Let's take two points: when \(x = 0\), \(y=40\); when \(y = 70\), let's find x. The difference in y is \(70 - 40=30\). Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, looking at the graph, when y = 70, what's x? Wait, the line goes from (0,40) to, say, when y = 90, x = 100? Wait, no, the end point is (100,90)? Wait, no, the graph: the y - axis is number of tartlets, x - axis is number of additional eggs. The line starts at (0,40) and goes up. Let's find the slope. Let's take two points: (0,40) and (x,70). Wait, when y = 70, how much is x? Let's calculate the slope. The change in y from 40 to 70 is 30. Let's see the change in x. Wait, maybe the slope is 1? Wait, no. Wait, when x = 0, y = 40. When x = 30, y = 70? Wait, 40+30 = 70. So the slope is 1? Wait, 70 - 40 = 30, so x = 30. Wait, but let's check the options. The options are 40,90,60,30. So when y = 70, x = 30? Wait, no, maybe I misread the graph. Wait, the y - axis is number of tartlets, x - axis is number of additional eggs. The line: when x = 0, y = 40 (so 40 tartlets with 0 additional eggs). To get 70 tartlets, we need 70 - 40 = 30 more tartlets? Wait, no, the graph is a linear relationship. Let's find the equation of the line. Let \(y=mx + b\), where \(b = 40\) (y - intercept). So \(y=mx + 40\). Let's take another point. When x = 100, y = 90 (from the end of the arrow). So \(90=m\times100+40\), so \(m=\frac{90 - 40}{100}=\frac{50}{100}=0.5\). So the equation is \(y = 0.5x+40\). We want to find x when \(y = 70\). So \(70=0.5x + 40\). Subtract 40: \(30 = 0.5x\), so \(x = 60\)? Wait, that's different. Wait, maybe my point (100,90) is wrong. Wait, the graph: the y - axis goes up to 100, x - axis up to 100. The line starts at (0,40) and goes to (100,90)? Wait, 90 - 40 = 50, over 100, so slope 0.5. Then for y = 70: 70 - 40 = 30, so x = 30/0.5 = 60? Wait, that's 60. Wait, maybe I misread the graph. Let's look again. The options are 40,90,60,30. So if the equation is \(y=0.5x + 40\), then when y = 70, \(x=(70 - 40)/0.5=60\). So the number of additional eggs is 60? Wait, no, maybe the slope is different. Wait, when x = 0, y = 40. When x = 30, y = 50? Wait, no, the graph: the first grid line after 0 on x is 10, 20, etc. The y - axis: 40,50,60,70,80,90. So from (0,40) to (x,70). Let's count the grid squares. From y = 40 to y = 70 is 30 units up. The x - axis: each grid square is 10 units? Wait, x - axis: 0,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100. Y - axis: 0,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100. The line goes from (0,40) to, say, (60,70)? Wait, 40 + 30 = 70, and x = 60? So the answer is 30? No, wait, no. Wait, the options are 40,90,60,30. Let's check the graph again. The correct answer is 30? No, wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the problem is "how many additional eggs to bake a total of 70 tartlets". The initial number of tartlets (when 0 additional eggs) is 40. So the additional tartlets from 40 to 70 is 30. But the graph shows the relationship between additional eggs and total tartlets. Wait, maybe the line is total tartlets = 40 + (number of additional eggs)*0.5. So 70 = 40+0.5x → 0.5x=30 → x = 60. So the number of additional eggs is 60. So the correct option is 60 additional eggs. Wait, but let's look at the graph. When y = 70, the x - value is 60? So the answer is 30? No, I'm confused. Wait, the options are 40,90,60,30. Let's see the graph: the line starts at (0,40) and goes up. When y = 70, the x is 30? No, 40 to 70 is 30, and if the slope is 1 (each additional egg gives 1 tartlet), then 30 additional eggs. But the graph: when x = 0, y = 40; when x = 30, y = 70? Then slope is 1. So 70 - 40 = 30, so x = 30. So the answer is 30 additional eggs? But that contradicts the equation. Wait, maybe the graph is drawn such that each additional egg gives 1 tartlet. So initial 40, so to get 70, need 30 more tartlets, so 30 additional eggs. So the correct option is 30 additional eggs? Wait, no, the options are 40,90,60,30. So the last option is 30 additional eggs. So I think the correct answer is 30 additional eggs. Wait, maybe I made a mistake in the slope. Let's re - examine the graph. The y - axis is number of tartlets, x - axis is number of additional eggs. The line passes through (0,40) and when x = 30, y = 70 (because 40+30 = 70). So the answer is 30 additional eggs.

Answer:

30 additional eggs
