Answer 1

The constant of proportionality shows how much raspberry you need for lemonade. In the table, for every 5 cups of lemonade, you add 2 scoops of raspberry. This can be seen as the ratio (1, 2.5), meaning for 1 scoop of raspberry, you need 2.5 cups of lemonade. It helps us understand the relationship between the two ingredients!
