A restaurant is placing an order for paper towels. The data table shows the amount of paper towel rolls compared to the number of cases. 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

Since the constant of proportionality represents the ratio between the number of cases and the amount of paper towel rolls, we need to look for a consistent ratio throughout the table.

By examining the data table, we can identify the ratio 1:8 as the consistent ratio that appears for each row since the number of cases is always 1 less than the number of paper towel rolls.

Thus, the constant of proportionality appears at the ratio (1, 8).
