Question

today you're going to discuss real-life direct variations that you encounter.

Let's take a look at Jeremy's post on this topic:

My large family makes frequent visits to the children's theater. Sometimes the whole family attends a show, but other times only a few of us are there. Our cost of admission is directly proportional to the number of family members who attend.

This chart shows our total cost of admission depending upon how many people attend:


Underline Starts# of PeopleUnderline Ends Underline StartsCost of Admission ($)Underline Ends
1 4
2 8
3 12
4 16
5 20
6 24
7 28


Think of a two quantities you encounter in your life that vary directly. (Perhaps the quantities could be the number of beverages and the total price paid, the number of gallons of gasoline and the total price paid, or the total number of cupcakes and the number of party guests.) Make a table that shows the relationship between the two quantities. Make sure that your table contains at least four pairs of proportional values. Do not write an equation or give the constant of variation--only post the table displaying the related quantities.
