Practice Proportionality in Math
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
A relationship where two quantities maintain a constant ratio: doubling one always doubles the other, giving y = kx.
If you double one, you double the other. Triple one, triple the other.
Example 1
easyA car travels 150 miles in 3 hours at constant speed. How far will it travel in 5 hours?
Example 2
mediumThe table shows: x = 2, y = 8; x = 5, y = 20; x = 9, y = 36. Determine whether y is proportional to x, and if so write the proportionality equation.
Example 3
easyIf 12 apples cost \3.60, how much do 20$ apples cost?
Example 4
mediumIs the relationship y = 3x + 2 proportional? Is y = 5x proportional? Explain.
