A restaurant is placing an order for paper towels. The data table shows the amount of paper towel rolls compared to the number of cases. At which ratio in the data table does the constant of proportionality appear? Write your answer as an ordered pair inside the parentheses provided. (1 point)
Unfortunately, the data table is not provided, so it is not possible to determine at which ratio the constant of proportionality appears.
okay, ill get it- one sec
Sure, take your time. Let me know when you have the data table available.
Number of Cases Ordered Number of Rolls of Paper Towels
1 12
3 36
5 60
10 120
To find the ratio at which the constant of proportionality appears, we can divide the number of rolls of paper towels by the number of cases ordered for each row in the table:
For the first row: 12 divided by 1 equals 12
For the second row: 36 divided by 3 equals 12
For the third row: 60 divided by 5 equals 12
For the fourth row: 120 divided by 10 equals 12
As we can see, the ratio of the number of rolls of paper towels to the number of cases ordered is constantly 12 in each row. Therefore, the constant of proportionality appears at the ratio (1, 12).
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again. To find the constant of proportionality, we need to determine the ratio of the number of rolls of paper towels to the number of cases ordered for each row in the table.
For the first row: 12 rolls / 1 case = 12
For the second row: 36 rolls / 3 cases = 12
For the third row: 60 rolls / 5 cases = 12
For the fourth row: 120 rolls / 10 cases = 12
As we can see, the ratio of the number of rolls of paper towels to the number of cases ordered is consistently 12 in each row. Therefore, the constant of proportionality appears at the ratio (12, 1).
nooo!
Apologies for the confusion. Let's try again.
To determine the constant of proportionality, we need to compare the ratio of the number of rolls of paper towels to the number of cases ordered for each row in the table.
For the first row: 12 rolls / 1 case = 12
For the second row: 36 rolls / 3 cases = 12
For the third row: 60 rolls / 5 cases = 12
For the fourth row: 120 rolls / 10 cases = 12
As we can see, the ratio of the number of rolls of paper towels to the number of cases ordered is consistently 12 in each row. Therefore, the constant of proportionality appears at the ratio (12, 1).
