1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to determine whether the given table represents a proportional relationship. The table has three rows of data: (5,16.5)(5, 16.5), (11,36.3)(11, 36.3), and (12,37.4)(12, 37.4).

2. Solution Steps

A relationship is proportional if the ratio between the two variables is constant. We need to check if the ratio of the yy-value to the xx-value is the same for all data points. In other words, we need to calculate y/xy/x for each row.
Row 1: x=5,y=16.5x = 5, y = 16.5. Then y/x=16.5/5=3.3y/x = 16.5/5 = 3.3.
Row 2: x=11,y=36.3x = 11, y = 36.3. Then y/x=36.3/11=3.3y/x = 36.3/11 = 3.3.
Row 3: x=12,y=37.4x = 12, y = 37.4. Then y/x=37.4/12=3.116663.12y/x = 37.4/12 = 3.11666\dots \approx 3.12.
Since the ratios are not the same, the relationship is not proportional.

3. Final Answer

Non-Proportional
