Please help me i have been trying to understand this but it have been struggling to do it. please help me!

Answer 1

For the given table, we'll show is it a proportional relationship or not.

Turtle's Run:

we will divide the distance by the time

Distance, time

108 , 2 ⇒ 108/2 = 54 meters per minutes

405 , 7.5 ⇒ 405/7.5 = 54 meters per minutes

540, 10 ⇒ 540/10 = 54 meters per minutes

1768.5, 32.75 ⇒ 1768.5/32.75 = 54 meters per minutes

So, It is a proportional relationship

the equation will be:

Let the distance = y, time = x

`y=54x`

Rabbit's Run:

we will divide the distance by the time

Distance, time

800, 1 ⇒ 800/1 = 800 meters per minutes

900, 5 ⇒ 900/5 = 180 meters per minutes

1107.5, 20 ⇒ 1107.5/20 = 55.375

So, as the result of division is not constant

The relation is not proportional
