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 the constant of proportionality appear? Write your answer as an ordered pair inside the parentheses provided.

Answer 1

To determine the constant of proportionality based on the given data, we need to find the ratio of cups of flour to loaves of bread.

The recipe calls for 2 cups of flour per loaf of bread, meaning the constant of proportionality should be 2 cups of flour for every 1 loaf of bread.

Looking at the data:

• For 1 loaf of bread, you need 2 cups of flour (this is not shown in the table but it aligns with the recipe).
• For 2 loaves of bread, you would need 4 cups of flour.
• For 3 loaves of bread, it would require 6 cups of flour.
• For 4 loaves of bread, it would need 8 cups of flour.

The constant of proportionality appears as a ratio of (2 cups, 1 loaf), which directly corresponds to the recipe.

Therefore, the ordered pair representing this ratio is:

(2, 1)
