Answer:
b = 3/8a
Explanation:
The following table shows a proportional relationship between A and B.
a b
8 3
24 9
40 15
1/4
Let's find the constant of proportionality.
In the proportional relationship between aaa and bbb, one constant of proportionality is the number we multiply by aaa to get bbb.
a\, \times\, ?=ba×?=b
2/4
a b
8 3 8 × 3/8=3
24 9 24×3/8=9
40 15 40×3/8=15
The constant of proportionality is 3/8. This means we can multiply 3/8 by a to get b.
Now, let's represent that as an equation.
b= constant of proportionality × a
b = 3/8a
One correct equation is b=3/8a
