Question

The price of a bag of oranges is directly proportional to the number of oranges packaged in the bag. The table shows this relationship.

What is the constant of proportionality?


Oranges (x) 8 12 16
Price ($) (y) 2 3 4

Answer 1

If I understand what you're saying... It would be divided by four.

8 divided by 4 is 2.
12 divided by four is 3.
16 divided by four is 4.

I hope this helps.
