Andy, Mary, Leta, and Paul have eight days to collect money for a walk-a-thon to support their school. In the given graph, they have each recorded the relationship between the number of days and the amount of money collected.

Question

Whose collection shows a proportional relationship between the amount of money collected and the number of days?

Answer 1

To determine whose collection shows a proportional relationship between the amount of money collected and the number of days, we need to look for a linear relationship that passes through the origin (0,0) in the graph of money collected versus days.

A proportional relationship implies:

1. The amount collected is zero when there are zero days (the line should start at the origin).
2. The ratio of money collected to days should remain constant.

If you can provide the specific details or characteristics of the graph or describe how much each person collected over the days, I will be able to help identify whose collection demonstrates a proportional relationship.
