To determine the relationship between the number of pitchers and the number of lemons, we need to examine the given data and find a pattern or equation that relates the two quantities.
From the table, we can observe that as the number of lemons increases, the number of pitchers also increases. However, we need to find a relationship that holds true for all the given data points.
Let's look at the first data point: 24 lemons and 3 pitchers. From this point, you can see that the number of pitchers is obtained by dividing the number of lemons by 8 (24/8 = 3).
Similarly, for the second data point: 32 lemons and 4 pitchers, we get the number of pitchers by dividing the number of lemons by 8 (32/8 = 4).
By examining the next data points, we can see that this relationship continues to hold true. For example, 56 lemons divided by 8 gives us 7 pitchers (56/8 = 7), and 96 lemons divided by 8 gives us 12 pitchers (96/8 = 12).
Therefore, the relationship between the number of pitchers and the number of lemons is D. Pitchers = Lemons / 8.
In summary, D is the correct choice.
