Answer 1

No, the number of cards Gavin has dealt is not proportional to the number of rows.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, Gavin deals 6 cards in each row, and he continues this pattern for 7 rows. To find out the total number of cards he dealt, you can simply multiply the number of cards per row (6) by the number of rows (7):

6 cards/row * 7 rows = 42 cards

So, Gavin has dealt a total of 42 cards.

The key to understanding why this is not a proportional relationship is that the number of cards (42) does not increase or decrease proportionally with the number of rows (7). In a proportional relationship, if one quantity increases, the other increases by a fixed ratio or factor. Here, the number of cards dealt does not increase or decrease in a consistent ratio with the number of rows; it remains fixed at 42 cards regardless of the number of rows.
