16.

Is the number of cookies proportional to the number of guests?

a)

This table DOES show a proportional relationship between the number of guests and the number of cookies.

b)

This table DOES NOT show a proportional relationship between the number of guests and the number of cookies.

c)

It impossible to determine if this is proportional because we don't know how many guests will arrive.

It doesn't really matter because Cookie Monster will show up and eat all the cookies anyway!

17.

Your friend wants to know if the amount of money in her account is proportional to the number of months she's been saving money.

a)

The table DOES show a proportional relationship between months and amount in saving account.

b)

The table DOES NOT show a proportional relationship between months and amount in saving account.

c)

Your friend needs to get a calculator and learn how to use it.

18.

This equation shows a proportional relationship between x and y. What is the constant of proportionality and why is it called the constant of proportionality.

y = 12.6x

a)

C.O.P. =12.6, I have no idea why it's called that.

b)

1.26 It's called that because it sounds complicated and mathematicians are always trying to make these complicated!

c)

C.O.P. = 12.6, Its called the COP because 12.6 is the constant multiple of x that gives you y.

d)

I have never heard of this. I think you are messing with us, Mrs. Schlottman!

19.

a)

45 miles per gallon

b)

135 miles per gallon

c)

67.5 miles per gallon

d)

This cannot be determined.

21.

What is the main idea of this topic of study?

a)

 y2 =y^2\ =  y  ×\times   y

b)

y ÷\div  x is the constant of proportionality and the unit rate. Once you find it just plug it into y = kx and you have this sweet equation. A graph of a proportional relationship is always a straight line that goes through the origin.

c)

There is no point to math. It's just hard and I will never learn any of it. I am going to work at McDonald's and live in my parents basement when I am 40  years old.
