  1. y is proportional to x. When x = 6, y = 24. What is the constant of proportionality?

    • A 18
    • B 1/4
    • C 144
    • D 4

    k = y รท x = 24 รท 6 = 4

  2. y = 3.5x. What is y when x = 8?

    • A 11.5
    • B 28
    • C 4.5
    • D 2.29

    3.5 ร— 8 = 28

  3. Which equation shows a proportional relationship?

    • A y = 5x + 2
    • B y = x + 5
    • C y = 5x
    • D y = 5
  4. Which set of (x, y) pairs is proportional?

    • A (1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 7)
    • B (1, 4), (2, 6), (3, 8)
    • C (1, 3), (2, 6), (4, 12)
    • D (2, 3), (4, 5), (6, 7)
  5. A proportional graph is a straight line that passes through which point?

    • A (1, 0)
    • B (0, 1)
    • C (1, 1)
    • D (0, 0)
  6. On a proportional graph, the point (1, r) shows what?

    • A the unit rate r
    • B the y-intercept
    • C the x-intercept
    • D the total
  7. Apples cost $2.40 for 3 pounds. Which equation gives the cost c for p pounds?

    • A c = 3p
    • B c = 0.8p
    • C c = 2.4p
    • D c = p + 0.8
  8. A car uses 4 gallons of gas for 112 miles. How far can it go on 10 gallons?

    • A 448 miles
    • B 118 miles
    • C 1,120 miles
    • D 280 miles

    112 รท 4 = 28 mi/gal, ร— 10 = 280

  9. A map scale is 1 inch : 25 miles. Two towns are 3.5 inches apart. How far apart are they?

    • A 75 miles
    • B 28.5 miles
    • C 7.14 miles
    • D 87.5 miles

    3.5 ร— 25 = 87.5

  10. Solve the proportion: 4/10 = x/25

    • A x = 62.5
    • B x = 16
    • C x = 19
    • D x = 10

    4 ร— 25 = 100, and 100 รท 10 = 10

  11. Solve the proportion: 3/x = 9/24

    • A x = 72
    • B x = 8
    • C x = 12
    • D x = 18

    3 ร— 24 = 72, and 72 รท 9 = 8

  12. Solve the proportion: 7/4 = 21/x

    • A x = 3
    • B x = 18
    • C x = 12
    • D x = 36.75

    4 ร— 3 = 12

  13. Jen walks 1/2 mile in 1/4 hour. What is her speed in miles per hour?

    • A 3/4 mile per hour
    • B 1/8 mile per hour
    • C 1/2 mile per hour
    • D 2 miles per hour

    1/2 รท 1/4 = 2

  14. A recipe uses 2/3 cup sugar for 1/2 batch. How much sugar per full batch?

    • A 1 1/6 cups
    • B 2/3 cup
    • C 1/3 cup
    • D 1 1/3 cups

    2/3 รท 1/2 = 4/3

  15. Workers earn $13.50 per hour. Which table matches?

    • A 2 h: $27, 4 h: $52
    • B 2 h: $26, 4 h: $54

    • B Yes, k = 3 pages per minute
    • C No, the rate changes
    • D Yes, k = 15 pages per minute
  18. A taxi that charges $3 plus $2 per mile is a proportional relationship.

    False The $3 start fee means the graph does not pass through (0, 0).

  19. If y = 7x, then doubling x doubles y.

    True
