• when two proportions like each other.

• a relationship between equivalent ratios with a constant multiple.

• a ratio that can be multiplied.

• when you add a number to both sides of a ratio.

Can you use proportional reasoning to solve the following problem?

If Hector is 8 years old and Mary is 3 years old, how old will Mary be when Hector is 16?

• Yes, because Hector's age and Mary's age have a proportional relationship.

• No, because there is no constant multiple, so there is no proportional relationship.

Can you use proportional reasoning to solve the following problem?

Marco needs to buy some cat food. At the nearest store, 3 bags of cat food cost $15.75. How much would Marco spend on 5 bags of cat food?

• Yes, because each bag of cat food costs the same, so there is a constant multiple.

• No, because there is no proportional relationship between the cost of bags of cat food.
