Question

A new ice cream store opened up that sells ice cream at a price based on the weight of the ice cream and the toppings you put in it. Joe and his friends all go to get ice cream and make a table comparing how much theirs weighed versus how much it cost. Is this relationship proportional? Why?

a) Yes, because the weight and cost have a constant ratio.
b) No, because the weight and cost do not have a constant ratio.
c) Yes, because the weight and cost increase linearly.
d) No, because the weight and cost increase exponentially.

Answer 1

The relationship between the weight of the ice cream and the cost is proportional if there is a constant ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the weight of the ice cream and the cost at the new ice cream store can be determined by examining whether it is proportional or not. In this case, if the weight and cost have a constant ratio, the relationship is proportional. Therefore, the correct answer is (a) Yes, because the weight and cost have a constant ratio.
