jayden's snow cone machine makes 3 snow cones from 0.5 lbs of ice. How many snow cones can he make from 5 lbs of ice? Draw a table.

To solve the problem, we first need to determine the number of snow cones that can be made from 1 pound of ice, and then use this information to find out how many snow cones can be made from 5 pounds of ice.

Given:
- 3 snow cones are made from 0.5 lbs of ice.

Let's find the number of snow cones that can be made from 1 lb of ice:

\[
\text{Number of snow cones per lb} = \frac{3 \text{ snow cones}}{0.5 \text{ lbs}} = 6 \text{ snow cones per lb}
\]

Now, we can find how many snow cones can be made from 5 lbs of ice:

\[
\text{Number of snow cones from 5 lbs of ice} = 6 \text{ snow cones per lb} \times 5 \text{ lbs} = 30 \text{ snow cones}
\]

### Table Representation

| **Ice (lbs)** | **Number of Snow Cones** |
|:-------------:|:------------------------:|
|      0.5      |            3             |
|      1        |            6             |
|      2        |           12             |
|      3        |           18             |
|      4        |           24             |
|      5        |           30             |

So, Jayden can make **30 snow cones** from 5 lbs of ice.
