When eggs = 2, then potatoes = 5
Eggs: 2
Potatoes: 5
When that is changed to 6 eggs, 2 needs to be multiplied by a number to get 6.
2 * what = 6 or 6/2=
you get the number 3. A fraction is equivalent to a ratio. So if you have 2*3=6 then you need to multiply 5*3 to get the amount of potatoes you need. the answer is 15 potatoes because 5*3=15.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Set up Equation</u>
"Nine more" is + 9
"Seven times a number" is 7n
"One more" is + 1
"Square of the [same] number" is n²
7n + 9 = n² + 1
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>n</u></em>
- Subtract 7n on both sides: 9 = n² - 7n + 1
- Subtract 9 on both sides: 0 = n² - 7n - 8
- Factor quadratic: 0 = (n - 8)(n + 1)
- Solve roots: n = -1, 8
The answer to this question is B, because neither of suggestsions make sense
the answer would be 6/6 because they want you to multiply 2 x 3/6
