    3. If the points lie on a line, draw a line through the points.
    4. Use the line to find the total number of almonds on 8 candy bars.
    5. For each point on your graph, write a fraction that shows the number of almonds (numerator) compared to the number of candy bars (denominator).
    6. Which fraction from Question E is in simplest form?
    7. Write three more equivalent fractions that compare the number of almonds to the number of candy bars.
