Question

The table below shows how much paint it takes to paint the walls of a house. A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled Paint (gallons) with entries 4, 6, 9, 12. Column 2 is labeled number of Walls with entries 1, 1.5, 2.25, 3. Does this table represent a proportional relationship? Yes, because both columns are written in ascending order. No, because the values on the right are less than the values on the left. Yes, because the ratios for each input and output are equivalent. No, because the difference between the values are not the same.

Answer 1

The table represents a proportional relationship because the ratios for each input and output are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table represents a proportional relationship because the ratios for each input and output are equivalent. To determine if a table represents a proportional relationship, we need to check if the ratios of the entries in the two columns are the same. In this table, if we divide the number of walls by the amount of paint, we get the same ratio for each row. For example, when there is 1 wall, we need 4 gallons of paint. When there are 1.5 walls, we need 6 gallons of paint, which is double the amount of paint required for 1 wall. This pattern continues for each row, demonstrating a proportional relationship.

Answer 2

the answer is c,Yes, because the ratios for each input and output are equivalent.
