Question

Jamie is walking her neighbors’ dog while they are away. She is keeping track of the total number of blocks she walks over time.

A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled Minutes with entries 6, 14, 20. Column 2 is labeled Blocks with entries 3, 7, 10.

Does the table represent a proportional relationship?
A Yes, because both columns are written in ascending order.
B Yes, because the values in the second column are less than the values in the first column.
C Yes, because the ratios are equivalent between each pair of values.
D No, because the values in the table do not increase by the same amount in each row.

Answer 1

c

Explanation:

Answer 2

C. Yes, because the ratios are equivalent between each pair of values.

Explanation:

A relationship between two quantities is proportional if the ratio of the two quantities are the same for all the given possible pairs of values.

In the table given, the ratio of block to mins in the first given pair of values is 3/6 = 3/6 = ½.

In the second given pair, it is 7 to 14 = 7/14 = ½. The same ratio is gotten for the others as well.

Therefore, the table represents a proportional relationship.

The answer is: "C. Yes, because the ratios are equivalent between each pair of values."
