Question

Nobel and Isaac have new jobs at Chipotle. Nobel is Isaac’s manager. In their first year, Nobel will be paid $12 per hour, and Isaac will be paid $5 per hour. They have been told that after every year with the company, they will each be given a raise of $3 per hour. Is the relationship between Nobel’s pay and Isaac’s pay rate proportional? Explain your reasoning using a table.

Answer 1

No, the relationship between Nobel's pay and Isaac's pay rate is not proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the relationship between Nobel's pay and Isaac's pay rate is not proportional. In a proportional relationship, the ratio between the two values remains constant. Let's create a table to compare their pay rates after each year:

Years Nobel's Pay Rate Isaac's Pay Rate

0 $12 $5

1 $15 $8

2 $18 $11

As shown in the table, each year Nobel's pay rate increases by $3, while Isaac's pay rate also increases by $3. However, the ratio between their pay rates is not constant, so the relationship is not proportional.
