Answer:

f = 2.75p

Explanation:

You can see that the amount of flour for 6 cakes is double the amount for 3 cakes, so the amount of flour is proportional to the number of cakes. An equation for a proportional relationship will have the form ...

f = kp

We can find the value of k from any column in the table.

8.25 = k(3) . . . . using the values in the first column

8.25/3 = k = 2.75 . . . . . divide by 3

The equation is ...

f = 2.75p

_____

Additional comment

If the input doubles, but the output does not, then the relationship is not proportional. We ordinarily expect recipes to have proportional relationships.
