Multiple choice

x y 2 6 4 12 8 24 50 n In the table above, the ratio of y to x for each ordered pair is constant. What is the value of n?

  1. 100

  2. 150

  3. 200

  4. 300

B Correct answer
Explanation

The ratio y/x is constant. 6/2 = 3, 12/4 = 3, 24/8 = 3. So n/50 = 3, which means n = 150.

AI explanation

The problem states that the ratio of y to x is constant, so we can find this ratio using the first ordered pair, 2 and 6. Dividing 6 by 2 gives a constant ratio of 3. Using direct proportion, we multiply the given x value of 50 by this constant ratio of 3 to find the corresponding y value. The value of n is 150.
