Use the table to answer the question.

Number of Loaves of Bread Made with Different Amounts of Flour
Cups of Flour Loaves of Bread
1 1/2
2 1
3 1 1/2
4 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 the constant of proportionality appear?

Answer 1

To determine the constant of proportionality, we need to find the ratio of cups of flour to the number of loaves of bread.

From the table provided:

- For 1 1/2 cups of flour, the bakery makes 1 loaf of bread: (1.5, 1)
- For 2 cups of flour, the bakery makes 1 loaf of bread: (2, 1)
- For 3 cups of flour, the bakery makes 1 1/2 loaves of bread: (3, 1.5)
- For 4 cups of flour, the bakery makes 2 loaves of bread: (4, 2)

Now, we can calculate the ratio of cups of flour to loaves of bread for each case:

1. 1.5 cups of flour / 1 loaf = 1.5
2. 2 cups of flour / 1 loaf = 2
3. 3 cups of flour / 1.5 loaves = 2
4. 4 cups of flour / 2 loaves = 2

The constant of proportionality appears with the ratios where each of the following cases gives us the same ratio (2):

- For (2, 1)
- For (3, 1.5)
- For (4, 2)

The constant of proportionality is 2, which appears in the pair (2, 1).

Thus, the ordered pair in the provided format is:

(2, 1)
