Question

Write a real world problem involving a proportional relationship. Explain how you know the relationship is proportional

Answer 1

A real world example of a proportional relationship are wages.

Proportional means that Y grows as X grows, and Y shrinks as X shrinks, and when Y is zero, X is zero. The only time they have to be the same number though is at zero.

An example of this in real life is the way that people make money, wages, let's use minimum wage.
When you work 0 hours, you make $0.
Working 1 hour means you made $7.25
and working 5 hours mean you've made $36.25. It's a linear equation that starts at the origin, that means it is proportional.
