Question

A new string is chosen and knotted with all the other strings to create a second row. This process is repeated until there are enough rows to make a bracelet to fit around your friend's wrist. Are the number of knots proportional to the number of rows? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Yes, the number of knots is proportional to the number of rows.

Explanation:

The number of knots is proportional to the number of rows, because whenever there is a new row then it implies that there is new knot.

Meaning, as the number of rows increases, the number or knots increases. This is a proportional relationship.
