For proportionality constant problems, set up the equation as,
,
Where x and y are the two variables you are comparing and <em>K </em>is the proportionality constant. If we take <em>Caramel Corn </em>values as x and <em>Cheddar Corn </em>values as y, and then solve for <em>K </em>for each ratio lines, we will get the same answer. Let's check.
,
, and
.
Hence, the proportionality constant, in this case <em>K,</em> is equal to or 1.5. First answer choice is correct.
ANSWER: 1.5
