To identify the constant of proportionality from the data table, we need to look for a consistent ratio between the number of loaves and the amount of flour required.
From the given data table, we can calculate the ratio of "flour required" to "number of loaves" for each row:
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{flour required}}{\text{number of loaves}}
\]
\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
\text{Number of loaves} & \text{Flour Required (cups)} & \text{Ratio} \\
\hline
2 & 4 & 2 \\
\hline
3 & 6 & 2 \\
\hline
4 & 8 & 2 \\
\hline
5 & 10 & 2 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]
The ratio is consistently 2 for each row, indicating that the constant of proportionality is 2.
A bakery is making loaves of French bread. The recipe calls for 2 cups of flour per loaf of bread. The data table shows how much flour the bakery needs depending on the number of loaves it intends to make. At which ratio in the data table does tge constant of proportionality appear?
