This situation

Select Choice

a proportional relationship because

Select Choice

.choice are represented or not
choice for different one both have the ratio 8second to 1 foot or 8 foot to one second or ratio that are not the same.

Answers

  1. we conclude that the given situation can be modeled with a proportional relationship because both have the ratio 8 ft to one second.

    Is the given relation proportional?

    Remember that a proportional relationship between two variables is written as:
    y = k*x
    Where k is the constant of proportionality.
    Let’s define x as the time and y as the distance, the given situation is proportional if we get the same constant of proportionality for the two pairs of values given.
    The first pair is 24 feet in 3 seconds, then:
    24 ft = k*3s
    (24 ft/3s) = k =8 ft/s
    The second pair is 40 ft in 5 seconds, then:
    40ft = k*5s
    40ft/5s = k = 8ft/s
    Then we conclude that the given situation can be modeled with a proportional relationship because both have the ratio 8 ft to one second.
