Answer 1

The amount paid for different weights of oranges at a farmer's market are shown below (A) is the relationship between the price and the weight of the oranges proportional?

Oranges (lb) Price ($)

2--------- $3

3--------- $4.50

5--------- $7.50

Answer:

proportional relationship. Exist

Step-by-step explanation:

To check for propottionality:

2 = 3k

Solve for k = constant of proportionality

2/3 = 3k/3

2/3 = k

Quantity at price = 4.50

Price * k = quantity

4.50 * 2/3 = 3

Quantity at price = 7.50

Price * k = quantity

7.50 * 2/3 = 5

Hence, proportional relationship. Exist
