Complete the rate chart below to find the number of scoops of coffee grounds needed for a certain number of pots of coffee.
Number of Pots of Coffee 8 10 12 14 16
Number of Scoops of Coffee Grounds 16 20 24 28 ?
To complete the rate chart, we need to find the pattern in the relationship between the number of pots of coffee and the number of scoops of coffee grounds needed.
From the given data, we can see that the number of scoops of coffee grounds needed is directly proportional to the number of pots of coffee. That is, if we double the number of pots of coffee, we will need to double the number of scoops of coffee grounds.
Using this pattern, we can find the missing value in the chart:
Number of Pots of Coffee 8 10 12 14 16
Number of Scoops of Coffee Grounds 16 20 24 28 32
Therefore, for 16 pots of coffee, we need 32 scoops of coffee grounds.
