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).
get it right! thats wrong!
Apologies for the repeated incorrect response. Let's try one more time.
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 rolls per case
For the second row: 36 rolls / 3 cases = 12 rolls per case
For the third row: 60 rolls / 5 cases = 12 rolls per case
For the fourth row: 120 rolls / 10 cases = 12 rolls per case
As we can see, the ratio of the number of rolls of paper towels to the number of cases ordered is consistently 12 rolls per case in each row. Therefore, the constant of proportionality appears at the ratio (12, 1).
Buses Number of People
0 0
1 35
2 70
3 105
4 140
A tour bus company is planning a trip through Utah’s national parks. The company plans to use 4 buses. Combined, the buses can fit up to 140 people. The table provided displays the number of people-to-bus ratio. 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)
To find the ratio at which the constant of proportionality appears, we need to divide the number of people by the number of buses for each row in the table.
For the first row: 0 people / 0 buses = undefined
For the second row: 35 people / 1 bus = 35
For the third row: 70 people / 2 buses = 35
For the fourth row: 105 people / 3 buses = 35
For the fifth row: 140 people / 4 buses = 35
As we can see, the ratio of the number of people to the number of buses is constantly 35 in each row, except for the first row which is undefined (since dividing by zero is not defined). Therefore, the constant of proportionality appears at the ratio (35, 1).
nope
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's try again.
To find the constant of proportionality, we need to compare the ratio of the number of people to the number of buses for each row in the table.
For the first row: 0 people / 0 buses = undefined
For the second row: 35 people / 1 bus = 35 people per bus
For the third row: 70 people / 2 buses = 35 people per bus
For the fourth row: 105 people / 3 buses = 35 people per bus
For the fifth row: 140 people / 4 buses = 35 people per bus
As we can see, the ratio of the number of people to the number of buses is consistently 35 people per bus in each row (excluding the first row where there are no buses). Therefore, the constant of proportionality appears at the ratio (35, 1).
