Question

Every female chicken lays 4 eggs. What is the constant of proportionality for the ratio of eggs to female chickens? 4 3

Answer 1

Since every female chicken lays 4 eggs, if you have one chicken you have 4 eggs, if you have two chicken you have 8 eggs, and so on.

We can even build a little table to show some values:

$\begin{array}{c|c}1&4\\2&8\\3&12\\4&16\\5&20\\\vdots & \vdots\\n& 4n\end{array}$

So, as you can see, the ratio between the number of eggs and the number of female chicken is 4.
