The ratio table below shows the relationship between the weight of apples purchased and the total cost of the apples. Apple Cost Weight (lb) | Total cost ($) 1 2 4 8 6 12 10 20 When the weight of apples is increased by a factor of 4, by what factor does the total cost increase? A) 3 B) 4 C) 6 D) 8

Angle:

We can see an example of what the problem is looking for right in the table that is given to us. The question is asking "when the weight of apples is increased by a factor of 4" this is what happened when 1 -> 4 in the weight column

Angle:

because of this, we look at the corresponding numbers... what is the "factor" when the 2 changed to the 8?

puppylover1234:

4?

Angle:
