Question

Gino is buying wood screws at the corner hardware store. The table shows different numbers of bags of screws and their corresponding prices.

According to the table, the relationship between the number of bags and the price is:
a) proportional
b) not proportional

Answer 1

It would be proportional because
10 / 2 = 5
20 / 4 = 5
35 / 7 = 5

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

Two variables would be proportional to each other if their ratios are equal.

Here we are going to check BAGS and PRICE.

If the ratio for all 3 columns are same, then they are PROPORTIONAL.

`(2)/(10)=(1)/(5)`

`(4)/(20)=(1)/(5)`

`(7)/(35)=(1)/(5)`

All are
`(1)/(5)` and same. Thus, they are proportional. Answer choice A.

** We could have also divided price by bags, all would have still be the same [5] **
