question
jai used a ratio table to solve the following problem. read the problem, then identify his strategy by filling in the blank below.

if you order 1 pizza, you will get 4 slices of pizza. how many slices of pizza are there in 10 pizzas?

pizzas	1	10

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the ratio

The ratio of pizzas to slices is \(1:4\) (1 pizza gives 4 slices).

Step2: Scale the ratio

To find slices for 10 pizzas, multiply both parts of the ratio by 10. So \(1\times10 = 10\) pizzas and \(4\times10 = 40\) slices. This is using the concept of equivalent ratios (scaling the ratio table by a factor of 10).

Answer:

Jai used the strategy of scaling the ratio (multiplying the number of pizzas and corresponding slices by 10, since 1 pizza has 4 slices, 10 pizzas have \(4\times10 = 40\) slices) using a ratio table. The number of slices in 10 pizzas is 40.
