Help help!! Trying to help son with math homework.. Please help
Create a table for each set of values. Test each table for equivalent ratios to find which set of values describes the proportional relationship of the two quantities.
66 ounces of peanuts to 89.1 ounces of walnuts
A)
(5, 7)(60, 84)(47, 65.8)
B)
(36, 48.6)(2, 2.7)(12, 16.2)
C)
(3, 3.9)(65, 84.5)(24, 31.2)
D)
(11, 13.2)(99, 118.8)(20, 24)

It's B stupid
To determine which set of values describes the proportional relationship between the two quantities, you'll need to check if the ratios between the ounces of peanuts and the ounces of walnuts are equal for each set of values.
Let's go through each option and calculate the ratios:
A) (5, 7) => 5/7 = 0.714
(60, 84) => 60/84 = 0.714
(47, 65.8) => 47/65.8 = 0.714
B) (36, 48.6) => 36/48.6 = 0.741
(2, 2.7) => 2/2.7 = 0.741
(12, 16.2) => 12/16.2 = 0.741
C) (3, 3.9) => 3/3.9 = 0.769
(65, 84.5) => 65/84.5 = 0.769
(24, 31.2) => 24/31.2 = 0.769
D) (11, 13.2) => 11/13.2 = 0.833
(99, 118.8) => 99/118.8 = 0.833
(20, 24) => 20/24 = 0.833
By comparing the ratios, we can see that in options A, B, and C, the ratios are the same for all the given sets of values. However, in option D, the ratios are different. Therefore, the correct answer is:
Set of values that describes the proportional relationship: C) (3, 3.9)(65, 84.5)(24, 31.2)
