Question

Complete the table to make a proportional relationship between weight and price.
Weight
Price
2 lb.

5 lb.
$

Answer 1

I don't see the price numbers in the table — can you confirm which price is given?

Meanwhile, here is how to complete it:

- If you know the price for one weight, find the unit price (price per 1 lb) and use it to get the other weight.
- Unit price = (given price) ÷ (given weight).
- Other price = (unit price) × (other weight).

Examples:
- If 5 lb costs $15 → unit price = 15 ÷ 5 = $3 per lb → 2 lb costs 2 × 3 = $6.
- If 2 lb costs $8 → unit price = 8 ÷ 2 = $4 per lb → 5 lb costs 5 × 4 = $20.

Tell me the price that was in your table and I’ll fill it in exactly.
