Analyzing a Table Using Equivalent Ratios
Jamie is walking her neighbors dog while they are away
She is keeping track of the total number of blocks she
walks over time
Minutes
Blocks
Does the table represent a proportional relationship?
Yes because both columns are written in
ascending order.
Yes, because the values in the second column are
less than the values in the first column.
Yes, because the ratios are equivalent between
each pair of values
No, because the values in the table do not increase
by the same amount in each row.

answer: 43/157

this is the answer and if you try to prove me wrong your a meanie

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
