Question

The cheerleading squad is creating banners for an upcoming pep rally. The proportion of length to height for the banners must be 3 to 1. Which graph represents this proportion? W. X. Y. Z. A. X B. Y C. Z D. W

Answer 1

To determine which graph represents the proportion of length to height at 3 to 1, we need to understand what that ratio means. The ratio of length (L) to height (H) of the banners being 3 to 1 can be expressed mathematically as:

\[ L = 3H \]

This means for every unit of height, the length must be three units.

To find the correct graph:
- Look for a line or curve that represents this relationship. Since you're looking for a ratio, it will be a straight line if plotted on a graph with height on one axis (e.g., y-axis) and length on the other (e.g., x-axis).
- This line should have a slope of 3, meaning for every increase of 1 unit on the height (H), the length (L) increases by 3 units.

If you can provide the visual representations of the graphs W, X, Y, Z, and A or their equations or descriptions, I can help you identify which one correctly shows the 3:1 proportion.
