Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the ratio table

Looking at the egg cartons column: 1 → 2 (multiplied by 2), 2 → 4 (multiplied by 2), 4 → 8 (multiplied by 2).
For the eggs column: 24 → 48 (24×2), 48 → 96 (48×2), 96 → 192 (96×2).

Step2: Identify the strategy

Each time the number of egg cartons doubles, the number of eggs also doubles. So the strategy is doubling.

Answer:

doubling
