That’s the wrong answer
I apologize for the incorrect response. The correct answer is (5, 2).
That’s wrong to
I apologize for the confusion. Upon reviewing the table again, it appears that the correct answer is (2, 5). The ratio of 2 scoops of raspberry to 5 cups of lemonade is consistent throughout the table, indicating that the constant of proportionality appears at this ratio.
To find the ratio at which the constant of proportionality appears, we need to look for a consistent ratio between the scoops of raspberry and the cups of lemonade in the table.
Looking at the table, we can see that as the number of scoops of raspberry doubles, the number of cups of lemonade also doubles. For example:
- When there is 1 scoop of raspberry, there are 2.5 cups of lemonade.
- When there are 2 scoops of raspberry, there are 5 cups of lemonade.
- When there are 4 scoops of raspberry, there are 10 cups of lemonade.
- When there are 6 scoops of raspberry, there are 15 cups of lemonade.
We can observe that the ratio of scoops of raspberry to cups of lemonade is consistent at 1:2.5 or 2:5. Therefore, the answer is (1, 2.5) or (2, 5).
