A tour bus company is planning a trip through Utah’s national parks. The company plans to use 4 buses. Combined, the buses can fit up to 140 people. The table provided displays the number of people-to-bus ratio. At which ratio in the data table does the constant of proportionality appear?

Answer 1

To find the constant of proportionality from the table, we need to determine the ratio of the number of people to the number of buses.

According to the table:

• For 1 bus: 35 people → Ratio: 35/1 = 35
• For 2 buses: 70 people → Ratio: 70/2 = 35
• For 3 buses: 105 people → Ratio: 105/3 = 35
• For 4 buses: 140 people → Ratio: 140/4 = 35

The constant of proportionality is consistent at 35 people per bus.

The ordered pair representing this ratio, which corresponds to 1 bus and 35 people, is (1, 35).

So the answer is:

(1, 35)
