To determine how many omelets can be made with 18 eggs, we start by examining the given ratio table.
The table shows the following information:
- 3 eggs make 1 omelet.
- 6 eggs make 2 omelets.
- 9 eggs make 3 omelets.
From this, we can infer that the number of eggs per omelet is consistent. Specifically, each omelet requires 3 eggs.
Now we need to find out how many omelets can be made with 18 eggs. Given that each omelet requires 3 eggs, we can calculate the number of omelets by dividing the total number of eggs by the number of eggs per omelet:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of omelets} = \frac{\text{Total number of eggs}}{\text{Number of eggs per omelet}}
\][/tex]
Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of omelets} = \frac{18 \text{ eggs}}{3 \text{ eggs per omelet}} = 6
\][/tex]
Thus, 18 eggs can be used to make 6 omelets.
The answer to the question is:
6
