Answer 1

To find the constant of proportionality, we can divide the number of ounces of cat food by the number of bags of cat food:

For the first row: 64 ounces / 4 bags = 16
For the second row: 80 ounces / 5 bags = 16
For the third row: 96 ounces / 6 bags = 16

We can see that the constant of proportionality is 16.
