Example The double number line shows the amount of clay Jamal uses to make different numbers of identical bowls. Is there a proportional relationship between the amount of clay and the number of bowls? If so, what is the constant of proportionality for pounds of clay per bowl? Clay (pounds) 0 H 2 233 + + + 5 Bowls 0 1 2 3 4 6 All of the ratios for clay: bowls are equivalent. So, there is a proportional relationship. All of the ratios have the same rate, į pound of clay per bowl. The constant of proportionality is 3 1 a. Write an equation representing the pounds of clay, c, that Jamal from the Example needs to make b bowls. V b. Explain how to find the amount of clay Jamal needs to make 8 bowls.
