The quantities in the fata table are in a proportional relationship. Using the data in the table, show your work and explain how you know the table represents a proportional relationship.

Question

Hours | Money
1 | 9
2 | 18
3 | 27
4 | 36

Answer 1

To show that the table represents a proportional relationship, we need to check if the ratio of Hours to Money remains constant.

To do this, we can divide the Money column by the Hours column:

For hour 1: 9/1 = 9
For hour 2: 18/2 = 9
For hour 3: 27/3 = 9
For hour 4: 36/4 = 9

Since the ratio of Money to Hours is constant at 9 for all data points, we can conclude that the table represents a proportional relationship.
