Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows two number lines with nine ticks marked on them at equal distances. The first number line, labeled peanuts, has the first two ticks on the left marked as 0 and 8, respectively. The second number line, labeled almonds, has the first, second, and ninth ticks marked as 0, 1, and 8, respectively.
Use the double number line to find the number of pounds of peanuts needed if there are 8 pounds of almonds.

The answer is 64.
To answer the question, we need to locate the number 8 on the almond number line and see what number it corresponds to on the peanut number line. In this case, the number 8 on the almond number line corresponds to the number 56 on the peanut number line. Therefore, if there are 8 pounds of almonds, we would need 56 pounds of peanuts.
The correct answer is 56.
To answer this question using the image provided, we need to find the corresponding point on the peanuts number line when the almonds number line is at 8 pounds.
From the image, we can see that both number lines have their first tick marked as 0. This means that 0 pounds of almonds correspond to 0 pounds of peanuts.
Now, we need to find the corresponding point on the peanuts number line when the almonds number line is at 8 pounds.
We can see that on the almonds number line, the ninth tick is marked as 8 pounds. To find the corresponding point on the peanuts number line, we need to find the tick that aligns with the ninth tick of the almonds number line.
Looking at the peanuts number line, we can see that the first two ticks are marked as 0 and 8, respectively. Since the distance between each tick is equal, we can count the number of ticks from the first tick (0) to the second tick (8).
Counting the ticks, we can see that there are a total of 9 ticks on the peanuts number line.
Therefore, if there are 8 pounds of almonds, the corresponding amount of peanuts needed would be the same as the number of ticks on the peanuts number line when the almonds number line is at 8 pounds, which is 9.
Hence, the correct answer is 9.
