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

one chocolate bar has 6 squares. how many squares are there in 100 chocolate bars?

chocolate bars	1	10	100

answer
the best description for the strategy that he used is multiplying. the number he multiplied by was blank.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the ratio table

Looking at the chocolate bars column: from 1 to 10, we multiply by 10 ($1\times10 = 10$); from 10 to 100, we multiply by 10 ($10\times10 = 100$).

Step2: Analyze the squares column

From 6 to 60: $6\times10 = 60$; from 60 to 600: $60\times10 = 600$. So the multiplier is 10.

Answer:

10
