Use the table to answer the question.

Time walking (minutes) | 20 | 30 | 40 | 60 | 80 |
Calories burned | 100 | 150 | 200 | 300 | 400 |
The table shows a relationship between the amount of time spent walking and the number of calories burned. Determine if the relationship is proportional.
A. The relationship is non-proportional; the graph would be an arc.
B. The relationship is proportional.
C. The proportional relationship cannot be determined from the information provided.
D. The relationship is non-proportional; the graph does not pass through the origin.

1 answer

B. The relationship is proportional.

In a proportional relationship, the ratio of the two quantities remains constant. In this case, the ratio of time walking to calories burned is 5:1 for every row in the table, indicating a proportional relationship.
