To determine if the quantities in the data table are in a proportional relationship, we need to check if there is a constant ratio between the numbers of trees and the numbers of apples.
The pairs from the table are:
- (2, 26)
- (3, 39)
- (6, 78)
- (10, 130)
- (12, 156)
Now, let's calculate the ratios of apples to trees for each pair:
-
For 2 trees and 26 apples: \( \frac{26}{2} = 13 \)
-
For 3 trees and 39 apples: \( \frac{39}{3} = 13 \)
-
For 6 trees and 78 apples: \( \frac{78}{6} = 13 \)
-
For 10 trees and 130 apples: \( \frac{130}{10} = 13 \)
-
For 12 trees and 156 apples: \( \frac{156}{12} = 13 \)
Since the ratio for all pairs is constant (13), the quantities in the data table are in a proportional relationship.
Therefore, the response is:
Yes, the data table has a proportional relationship.
