Question

Blake ran around the gym.His times are shown in the table.Blake is trying to decide whether the number of laps is proportional to the time.Find his mistake and correct it.

Answer 1

This kid, Blake, forgot to factor in time.

This is not proportional because it does not fall under a ratio 

1/4=.25 2/6=.33333 3/8=.375 4/10=.4 so they are not proportional

If they were proportional it would be
1/4=.25 2/8=.25 4/16=.25 

Answer 2

His mistake is that he has already covered 2 laps but did not include them.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

Blake ran around the gym.

His times are shown in the table.

Blake is trying to decide whether the number of laps is proportional to the time.

The time T is directly proportional to the number of laps N.

N ∝ T

If the sign of proportionality is replaced with an equal sign, then a constant k is introduced.

N = kT

Then the value of k will be

N = 2T

But the equation is not satisfied. So add 2 on the right side, then we have

N = 2T +  2
