Answer:

Table 1

Explanation:

Constant of proportionality is simply the ratio of y to x. In each of the given tables, the second column is y and the first is x.

Table 1:

4 32/5

10 16

11 88/5

Let's find the constant of proportionality for each row:

R1: (32/5) / 4 = 8/5

R2: 16/10 = 8/5

R3: (88/5) / 11 = 8/5

Thus, since this matches the requirements and all three rows have the same constant, Table 1 is the answer.

If you check the other two tables in the same way, you'll see that neither has a constant of proportionality of 8/5.

Hope this helps!
