Answer 1

9 carrots

Step-by-step

Answer 2

9 carrots

Step-by-step explanation:

There are different ways to solve these.

The first one is identify the pattern of the graph. You can see that the slope has 3 rises up and 2 runs to the right. So follow that point and you can see that the next coordinate is (6,9).

The second way is identify the pattern of the table. As you can see, the pattern goes like this:
`(2)/(3) ,(4)/(6) ,(6)/(y)`

2/3 = 2/3

4/6 = 2/3

6/y = 2/3

Solve the last one algebraically (cross-multiply first):

6/y = 2/3

2y = 18

y = 18 ÷ 2

y = 9

6/9 = 2/3 (correct)
