The constant of proportionality appears as the ratio between the number of loaves of bread and the amount of flour needed. So, looking at the data table, we can find this ratio by dividing the amount of flour needed by the number of loaves for each row.
For example, for the row 2 loaves - 4 cups, the ratio is 4 cups / 2 loaves = 2 cups/loaf.
Similarly, for the row 4 loaves - 8 cups, the ratio is 8 cups / 4 loaves = 2 cups/loaf.
We can continue this for each row and see that the ratio remains constant at 2 cups/loaf.
Therefore, the constant of proportionality appears as the ratio (2, 1) in the data table.
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.
