Question

1. the table shows the amounts of potatoes and chicken in different - sized batches of a soup recipe.

andre notices that if he takes the number in the chicken column and divides it by the corresponding number in the potatoes column, he always gets the same result.
what is the meaning of the number that andre has calculated?

potatoes (ounces)	chicken (ounces)
6	36
9	54

Explanation:

Andre calculates the ratio of chicken to potatoes (chicken ounces ÷ potato ounces). This constant ratio means for every 1 ounce of potatoes, there are that many ounces of chicken in the recipe. For example, $\frac{18}{3} = 6$, so 6 ounces of chicken per ounce of potatoes.

Answer:

The number represents the number of ounces of chicken per ounce of potatoes in the soup recipe.
