The table shows how many shirts four garment factories made and how long it took to make them. the relationship between the number of shirts and the number of days required to make the shirts is proportional. factory number of days number of shirts a 2 600 b 3 900 c 4 1,200 d 5 1,500 a fifth factory (factory e) can make shirts at the same rate as the first four factories. which table(s) could represent the production rate of factory e?

If you would like to know the production rate of factory E, you can calculate this using the following steps:

Factory   Number of days   Number of shirts
A             2                            600
B             3                            900
C             4                            1200
D             5                            1500

Factory E can make shirts at the same rate as the first four factories:
600 shirts / 2 days = 300 shirts per day
900 shirts / 3 days = 300 shirts per day
1200 shirts / 4 days = 300 shirts per day
1500 shirts / 5 days = 300 shirts per day

Factory E will make 1800 shirts in 6 days, therefore 1800 / 6 = 300 shirts per day.

The correct result would be:
Factory   Number of days   Number of shirts
E             6                            1800
