1. The problem asks which table shows a proportional relationship between weight and price. 2. A proportional relationship means the ratio between weight and price is constant. 3. We check each table by calculating the ratio $\frac{\text{Price}}{\text{Weight}}$ for both rows. 4. Table 1 (Top-left): - $\frac{3.50}{1.5} = \frac{7.00}{2} = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5$ and $\frac{7}{2} = 3.5$ - Both ratios equal 2.3333 and 3.5 respectively, so not equal. 5. Table 2 (Bottom-left): - $\frac{0.75}{2} = 0.375$ - $\frac{3.75}{5} = 0.75$ - Ratios differ, so not proportional. 6. Table 3 (Top-right): - $\frac{0.90}{1.5} = 0.6$ - $\frac{4.80}{8} = 0.6$ - Ratios are equal, so this table shows proportional relationship. 7. Table 4 (Bottom-right): - Units differ (oz and lb), so cannot compare directly. Final answer: Table 3 (Top-right) shows a proportional relationship.
