Use the table to answer the question.

Pounds of Bananas Cost ($)
2 2.50
3 3.75
5 6.25
7 8.75
Determine if the quantities in the data table are in a proportional relationship. If the quantities have a proportional relationship, answer 1. If the quantities do not have a proportional relation

1 answer

To determine if the quantities in the data table are in a proportional relationship, we need to check if the ratio of the pounds of bananas to the cost is constant.

2.50 / 2 = 1.25
3.75 / 3 = 1.25
6.25 / 5 = 1.25
8.75 / 7 = 1.25

As the ratio of the pounds of bananas to the cost is constant and equal to 1.25 in each case, the quantities in the data table are in a proportional relationship. Hence, the answer is 1.
