Certainly! I'd be glad to guide you through understanding proportional relationships in tables and practicing problems based on them.
In a proportional relationship, the values in one column of a table are directly related to the values in another column. Here are the general steps to identify and work with proportional relationships in tables:
1. Examine the table: Look for a relationship between the values in the two columns. If one column is a multiple of the other, or if dividing the values in one column by the corresponding values in the other column always gives you the same quotient, then it is likely a proportional relationship.
2. Determine the constant ratio: If the relationship is proportional, identify the constant ratio between the values. This constant ratio can be found by dividing any value in one column by the corresponding value in the other column.
3. Use the ratio to find missing values: If there are missing values in either column, you can use the constant ratio to find them. Multiply the known value in one column by the constant ratio to find the missing value in the other column.
Let's work through an example:
Example: Consider the table below:
|x | y |
|----|----|
| 2 | 5 |
| 3 | 7.5|
| 4 | 10 |
Is there a proportional relationship between x and y? If so, find the constant ratio and use it to find the missing value of y when x = 5.
Solution:
1. Examine the table: Notice that when x is multiplied by 2, y is also multiplied by 2. So, there is a proportional relationship.
2. Determine the constant ratio: Divide any value in the y column by the corresponding value in the x column:
- Ratio between 5 and 2: 5/2 = 2.5
- Ratio between 7.5 and 3: 7.5/3 = 2.5
- Ratio between 10 and 4: 10/4 = 2.5
Therefore, the constant ratio is 2.5.
3. Use the ratio to find the missing value: Multiply the known value in x by the constant ratio to find the missing value in y.
- When x = 5: 5 * 2.5 = 12.5
So, when x = 5, y = 12.5.
I hope this example helps you understand how to work with proportional relationships in tables. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
Use the table to answer the question.
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?
To determine the constant of proportionality in the given data table, we need to check if there is a consistent ratio between the number of people and the number of buses. In this case, the ratio should remain the same as the number of buses increases.
Let's calculate the ratios between the number of people and the number of buses:
- Ratio between 0 people and 0 buses: Not applicable (division by zero).
- Ratio between 35 people and 1 bus: 35/1 = 35.
- Ratio between 70 people and 2 buses: 70/2 = 35.
- Ratio between 105 people and 3 buses: 105/3 = 35.
- Ratio between 140 people and 4 buses: 140/4 = 35.
As we can see, the ratio remains constant at 35 throughout the table. Therefore, the ratio at which the constant of proportionality appears is 35.
good job trying but that is not right
Apologies for the confusion. Let's reassess the data table and identify the correct constant of proportionality.
In the given table:
Buses | Number of People
------|-----------------
0 | 0
1 | 35
2 | 70
3 | 105
4 | 140
To identify the constant of proportionality, we need to check if the ratio between the number of people and the number of buses remains the same throughout the table.
Let's calculate the ratios between the number of people and the number of buses:
- Ratio between 0 people and 0 buses: This ratio is undefined.
- Ratio between 35 people and 1 bus: 35/1 = 35.
- Ratio between 70 people and 2 buses: 70/2 = 35.
- Ratio between 105 people and 3 buses: 105/3 = 35.
- Ratio between 140 people and 4 buses: 140/4 = 35.
As we can see, for each ratio calculation, the result is 35. Therefore, the constant of proportionality in the data table is 35, indicating that for each additional bus, there is an increase of 35 people.
I apologize for the confusion earlier, and I appreciate your understanding. Let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with!
