Analyze the table, which shows the number of students from two classes who saw the summer blockbuster. Determine if the relationship is proportional.
Mrs. Hunt:21 saw the block buster/24 students in all
Mrs. Spears:15 saw the block buster/18 students in all
No the relationship is not proportional because 21/4=7/8 and 15/18=5/6.
No the relationship is not proportional because 18/21=6/7=3 and 18-15=3.
Yes the relation is proportional because 24/21=3 and 18-15=3.>>
Yes the relation is proportional because the numbers are multiples of 3.
surely not B or C, because proportions do not involve subtraction
Better review what a proportion is ... the two ratios must be equal.
yes the answer would be d
To determine if the relationship is proportional, we need to compare the ratios of the number of students who saw the blockbuster to the total number of students in each class.
For Mrs. Hunt's class, the ratio is 21/24.
For Mrs. Spears' class, the ratio is 15/18.
To determine if these ratios are proportional, we need to simplify them. Simplifying 21/24 gives us 7/8, and simplifying 15/18 gives us 5/6.
Comparing the simplified ratios, we can see that 7/8 is not equal to 5/6, which means the relationship is not proportional. This is because the ratios do not simplify to the same value.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
No, the relationship is not proportional because 21/24 does not equal 15/18.
