Gaston claims to eat 6 dozen eggs every morning. If the hens in his town lay 2 eggs per day, what is the equation that represents the relationship between the total number of eggs Gaston eats each morning and the number of hens (h) needed to support his diet?

i put 72 eggs = 36h because that makes sense right? but it’s saying that the 36 hens is incorrect

72 = 2h

Step-by-step explanation:

6 dozens = 6×12 = 72

72 = 2h

Each hen lays eggs, so h hens will lay 2×h eggs

The equation you've made implies every hen lays 36 eggs

72 = 2h is the equation,

Which simplifies to

h = 36

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

in this lesson, students will use double number lines and ratio reasoning to solve ratio problems. by partitioning double number lines into proportionate intervals, students will build an understanding of equivalent ratio relationships as those that are generated by multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number. this lesson will build upon students' prior understanding of multiplicative comparisons, number line reasoning and equivalent fractions (while highlighting the difference between equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios); and will build toward future work in this unit on building ratio tables, and work in future grades in proportionality, scaling, and expressing and graphing linear functions.
