How many pieces of gum are in 4 packages of gum?"

Using a proportional function, there are 60 pieces of gum in 4 packages.

What is a proportional relationship?

Two values x  and  y are said to be in a proportional relationship if x=ky, where x and y are variables and k is a constant.

The constant k is called constant of proportionality.

The constant is given by:

k = 15/1

k = 30/2

k  = 45/3

k  = 15.

Therefore, the number of pieces of gums in x packages is given by:

y = 15x.

In 4 packages:

y = 15 x 4

y = 60 pieces of gum.

Using a proportional function, there are 60 pieces of gum in 4 packages.
