The constant of proportionality in this context is a fixed value that relates the number of cups of flour to the number of loaves of bread. This constant can be found by dividing the amount of flour by the number of loaves for any given datum in the table. Since the recipe calls for 2 cups of flour per loaf of bread, the ratio should always maintain this proportion. Therefore, the constant of proportionality (k) is 2 cups of flour per 1 loaf of bread or k = 2/1.
The constant of proportionality would be represented as an ordered pair where the first number is the number of loaves and the second number is the corresponding amount of flour required.
Since the ratio is 2 cups of flour for every 1 loaf of bread, the constant of proportionality would appear in the table as a point where the second component (flour) is twice the first component (loaves).
Imagine there's an entry in the table like this:
| Number of Loaves | Cups of Flour |
|------------------|---------------|
| 1 | 2 |
For that entry, since 2 cups (of flour) / 1 loaf (of bread) = 2, it shows the constant of proportionality.
So, the ordered pair would be (1, 2).
Please note that this ordered pair is assuming a typical data point from the table. If the data table provided specific data points, then we'd need that information to determine the exact ordered pair entry in the table where the constant of proportionality (k = 2) appears. Otherwise, this reasoning applies to any scenario fitting the given recipe proportion.
