To find the ratio of the constant of proportionality, we can divide the pages read by the time in hours for each entry in the table.
For the first entry, we have 15 pages read in 0.5 hours, which gives a ratio of 15/0.5 = 30.
For the second entry, we have 30 pages read in 1 hour, which gives a ratio of 30/1 = 30.
For the third entry, we have 45 pages read in 1.5 hours, which gives a ratio of 45/1.5 = 30.
For the fourth entry, we have 60 pages read in 2 hours, which gives a ratio of 60/2 = 30.
Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 30 in all cases. None of the given options match this result, so none of the options are correct.
Use the table to answer the question.
Time(Hours) / Pages Read
T:1/2 PR:15
T:1 PR:30
T:1 1/2 PR:45
T:2 PR:60

what is the closest answer?
From the given options, the closest answer in terms of the ratio and the constant of proportionality is option B: (1, 30).
use the table to answer the question.
Hours Biked: 1 Miles Traveled: 12
Hours Biked: 2 Miles Traveled: 26
Hours Biked: 3 Miles Traveled: 30
Hours Biked: 4 Miles Traveled: 48
determine if the quantity is in the data table or in a proportional relationship. if they do not have a proportional relationship, indicate why
A no, you can't buy 12 miles in an hour
B yes, this data table has a proportional relationship.
C no, none of the ratios have equivalence
D no, not all of the ratios are proportional or have equivalence.

To determine if the quantities in the data table have a proportional relationship, we need to check if the ratios of miles traveled to hours biked are consistent.
For the first entry, we have 12 miles traveled in 1 hour, giving us a ratio of 12/1 = 12.
For the second entry, we have 26 miles traveled in 2 hours, giving us a ratio of 26/2 = 13.
For the third entry, we have 30 miles traveled in 3 hours, giving us a ratio of 30/3 = 10.
For the fourth entry, we have 48 miles traveled in 4 hours, giving us a ratio of 48/4 = 12.
Since the ratios are not consistent and do not have equivalence, the quantities in the data table do not have a proportional relationship.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C: no, none of the ratios have equivalence.
For the first entry, we have 12 miles traveled in 1 hour, giving us a ratio of 12/1 = 12.
For the second entry, we have 26 miles traveled in 2 hours, giving us a ratio of 26/2 = 13.
For the third entry, we have 30 miles traveled in 3 hours, giving us a ratio of 30/3 = 10.
For the fourth entry, we have 48 miles traveled in 4 hours, giving us a ratio of 48/4 = 12.
Since the ratios are not consistent and do not have equivalence, the quantities in the data table do not have a proportional relationship.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C: no, none of the ratios have equivalence.
