Lesson 3: Understand Proportional Relationships: Equivalent Ratios — Practice Questions

  1. 1. A relationship is defined by the data pairs (1, 4), (2, 7), and (3, 10). Which statement best describes this relationship?

    • A. It is proportional because the ratio y/x is constant.
    • B. It is non-proportional because the ratio y/x is not constant.
    • C. It is proportional because y increases as x increases.
    • D. It is non-proportional because the numbers are all positive.
  2. 2. A relationship between two quantities is given by the equation $y = x + 8$. For the point $(4, 12)$, the ratio $\frac{y}{x}$ is ___.

  3. 3. A movie streaming service charges a 5 dollars sign-up fee, plus 1 dollar per movie watched. Which statement is true about the relationship between total cost ($y$) and movies watched ($x$)?

    • A. The relationship is proportional because the cost per movie is constant.
    • B. The relationship is proportional because the sign-up fee is constant.
    • C. The relationship is non-proportional because of the 5 dollars sign-up fee.
    • D. The relationship is non-proportional because the cost changes with each movie.
  4. 4. Consider the non-proportional relationship $y = 2x + 3$. The ratio $\frac{y}{x}$ for the point where $x=3$ is ___, when written as a fraction.

  5. 5. Which of the following equations represents a non-proportional relationship?

    • A. $y = 7x$
    • B. $y = x - 2$
    • C. $y = \frac{x}{3}$
    • D. $y = 1.5x$
  6. 6. A recipe's ingredient amounts are proportional to the number of servings. If a recipe for 4 servings needs 6 cups of flour, how many cups are needed for 10 servings? ___ cups

  7. 7. The total distance $d$ a train travels in $t$ hours is given by $d = 85t$. What is the constant of proportionality in this relationship?

    • A. $d$
    • B. $t$
    • C. $85$
    • D. $\frac{1}{85}$
  8. 8. The cost of gasoline is proportional to the number of gallons purchased. If 8 gallons of gasoline cost 28 dollars, what is the unit rate in dollars per gallon? ___ dollars

  9. 9. A printer can print 40 pages in 5 minutes. If the number of pages is proportional to the time, how many pages can it print in 12 minutes? ___ pages

  10. 10. In a proportional relationship where $y=rx$, if the value of $x$ is doubled, what happens to the value of $y$?

    • A. It is halved.
    • B. It is doubled.
    • C. It increases by 2.
    • D. It does not change.
