Answer: I’ll explain it in simpler terms for you. A proportional relationship is one in which two quantities vary directly with each other. Ratios are proportional if they represent the same relationship. One way to see if two ratios are proportional is to write them as fractions and then reduce them. If the reduced fractions are the same, your ratios are proportional. An example of a proportional relationship is simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error. Hope this helps! :D
The question is asking you to organize the data in line plot form. to do so you must create a number line (which in this case is provided for you) and put X's above the numbers. for example lets say your given the following data :
1, 2 ,2 , 4 , 1 , 3 , 2 , 5
this is how you would graph it in line plot form
x . x
x . x . x . x . x
_________________________________________
1 . . . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5
but in your case not al the numbers listed are on the plot so instead you do this:
x . x
x . x . x . x . x
___________________________________
1 . 3 . 5 .
plot as if the numbers are there. ( as usual spacing is important)
