Question

the double number line shows the amount of time a hen needs to lay 1 egg.
eggs: 0, 1
time (hours): 0, 25
complete the table to show the same information as the double number line.
eggs | time (hours)
3 | blank
blank | 100
12 | blank

Explanation:

Step1: Find the rate

From the double number line, 1 egg takes 0.25 hours. So the rate is 0.25 hours per egg.

Step2: Calculate time for 3 eggs

Multiply the number of eggs (3) by the rate (0.25). So \( 3 \times 0.25 = 0.75 \) hours.

Step3: Calculate eggs for 100 hours

Divide the total time (100) by the rate (0.25). So \( \frac{100}{0.25} = 400 \) eggs.

Step4: Calculate time for 12 eggs

Multiply the number of eggs (12) by the rate (0.25). So \( 12 \times 0.25 = 3 \) hours.

Answer:

For 3 eggs: 0.75 hours
For 100 hours: 400 eggs
For 12 eggs: 3 hours

(In table form, the filled values would be:
Eggs: 3, Time: 0.75
Eggs: 400, Time: 100
Eggs: 12, Time: 3)
