Question

For each situation, explain whether you think the relationship is proportional or not.

The weight of a stack of standard 8.5x11 copier paper vs. number of sheets of paper.

Answer 1

Proportional

Explanation:

This is proportional because the weight of the stack of paper directly corresponds to the number of sheets of paper. The amount of paper affects the weight. It's just like saying that adding one extra person in an elevator will make the weight of the elevator more.
