Let’s solve each problem step by step.
---
Problem 1: Honey and Barbecue Sauce
We’re told:
→ For every
3 cups of honey, you can make
8 bottles of barbecue sauce.
We need to fill in the table for up to
9 cups of honey.
- When honey = 3 → bottles = 8 (given)
- When honey = 6 → that’s double 3, so bottles should be double 8 →
16
- When honey = 9 → that’s triple 3, so bottles should be triple 8 →
24 (already given)
So missing value is
16 when honey is 6.
✔ Table becomes:
| HONEY | BOTTLES |
|-------|---------|
| 3 | 8 |
| 6 | 16 |
| 9 | 24 |

Problem 2: Books Read and Gift Cards
We’re told:
→ For every
3 books read, students get a
$15 gift card.
We need to find how much they earn for reading up to 12 books.
Let’s think in groups of 3:
- 3 books → $15 (given)
- 6 books → that’s 2 groups of 3 → 2 × $15 =
$30
- 9 books → 3 groups → 3 × $15 =
$45 (given)
- 12 books → 4 groups → 4 × $15 =
$60 (given)
So missing value is
$30 when books = 6.
✔ Table becomes:
| BOOKS | GIFT CARDS |
|-------|------------|
| 3 | 15 |
| 6 | 30 |
| 9 | 45 |
| 12 | 60 |

Problem 3: T-Shirts Cost
Each t-shirt costs
$10.00
We need to complete the table for up to 3 shirts.
- 1 shirt → $10 (given)
- 2 shirts → 2 × $10 =
$20 (given)
- 3 shirts → 3 × $10 =
$30
✔ Table becomes:
| T-SHIRTS | COST |
|----------|------|
| 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 20 |
| 3 | 30 |

Problem 4: Boxes of Chips and Bags
Every box has
22 bags.
Complete table for up to 4 boxes.
- 1 box → 22 bags (given)
- 2 boxes → 2 × 22 =
44
- 3 boxes → 3 × 22 =
66
- 4 boxes → 4 × 22 =
88 (given)
✔ Table becomes:
| BOX | BAGS |
|-----|------|
| 1 | 22 |
| 2 | 44 |
| 3 | 66 |
| 4 | 88 |
