Since a dozen equals 12 eggs, the "Total Number of Eggs" column is increasing by 12 each time. Therefore 2 dozen eggs is equivalent to 24 eggs.

Using the table to find the information, first look at the column "Number of Cookies" to find the last row "3 dozen." Then, find the column "Flour" and follow it down to the last row where it shows 9 cups.

Jackie will need 9 cups of flour to make 3 dozen cookies.

Since the table does not show ingredients for 4 dozen cookies, you will need to extend the table.

Each time the recipe increases by 1 dozen, the sugar increases by 1.5 cups. To find the answer, simply add 1.5 cups to the last number in the column (4.5 cups).

Jackie will need 6 cups of sugar for 4 dozen cookies.

Another way to do this problem is to add the sugar for 1 dozen and 3 dozen to make 4 dozen: .

This box in the table is a question mark, so we will need to use other parts of the table to find the answer.

Use the first row in the table to see that each ant has six legs.

Multiply the number of ants by the number of legs per ant :

4 ants have 24 legs.

Another way to solve is to add the legs of four ants, knowing that each ant has six legs.

Use the first row in the table to determine how many body parts 1 ant has. Since 1 ant has 3 body parts, you will need to multiply 6(ants) by 3(body parts).

6 ants have 18 body parts.

Another way to solve would be to add up the body parts of each of the six ants.

Use the first row in the table to determine how many legs 1 giraffe has. Since 1 giraffe has 4 legs, you will need to multiply 4(giraffes) by 4(legs each).

The 4 giraffes have 16 legs.

You can also add the legs of 4 single giraffes by making 4 groups of 4.

oooo + oooo + oooo + oooo = 16

Use the first row in the table to determine how many ears 1 giraffe has. Since 1 giraffe has 2 ears, you will need to multiply 7(giraffes) by 2(ears).

7 giraffes have 14 ears altogether.

You can also solve by adding the ears of each giraffe together, making 7 groups of 2.

oo + oo + oo + oo + oo + oo + oo = 14

To find the average, we need to add all of the temperatures together, and then divide by the number of total temperatures (which is five).

Kayla got the highest score (99), followed by Brayden with the second highest (92), and then Bessie with the third highest (86). Sheniqua got the fourth highest (83), and Johnny got the lowest (71).

To find the answer, we should add Brayden's math test score () to Brayden's science test score () and divide by .

Under the Favorite Ice Cream column, we see that 3 students picked vanilla (Mikey, Jonas, & Taylor), 1 picked chocolate chip (Quinn), and 1 picked strawberry (Chloe). Based on that, vanilla is the favorite flavor.

To answer this question, look at the two columns and see which two students pick the same answer to favorite ice cream and favorite juice. Both Mikey and Taylor selected vanilla as their favorite ice cream flavor and apple juice as their favorite juice!

To find this answer, look under the Math Test Score column to see which student got the highest score. Ernie received a 99 on the math test**,** which is higher than the other four students!

To find this answer, add together each student's math and english test scores to see which student has the greatest sum. Ernie recieved points when adding his math and English test scores together, which is higher than the other four students.

To find this answer, look at the Favorite Sport column and see how many students selected basketball as their favorite sport. Allie, Cooper, and Bertha all selected basketball, making it 3 out of 6 students picking basketball. is not an answer choice, but if we reduce the fraction by dividing the top and the bottom by 3, we get (which is an answer choice!).

To find this answer, look at the Favorite Subject column and see how many students selected Spanish as their favorite subject. No students selected Spanish, so the answer is

Bluebird Team has sold boxes of cookies total.

Cardinal Team has sold boxes of cookies total.

Bluebird Team leads Cardinal Team by one box.

To find this answer, we need to look at the "Favorite Color" column and count how many students selected purple as their favorite color. 3 students (Tommy, Reniece and Britt) chose purple out of the 6 total students, giving us the correct answer choice - 3/6!

To figure out which student is the second oldest, look at the "Birthday" column to see whose birthday is the second earliest in the year (starting with January). Reniece is the oldest because her birthday is February 12th, and Devyn is the second oldest because her birthday is next in order, being on April 28th!
