LEARNING GOALS• Determine if relationships represented in words,
tables, equations, or graphs are proportional.• Interpret the meaning of linear proportional
relationships represented in words, tables, equations, and graphs.
• Identify and interpret the constant of proportionality for quantities that are proportional and represented in words, tables, equations, and graphs.
• Explain what a point on the graph of a proportional relationship means in terms of the problem situation.
• Explain what the points (0, 0) and (1, r) mean on the graph of a proportional relationship, where r is the unit rate.
You have determined the constant of proportionality in problem situations and from equations. How can you represent the constant of proportionality in graphs?

Getting Started
The Fish-Inches System of Measurement
You are thinking of purchasing an aquarium. You contact the owner of an aquarium store. You need to know how many fish to purchase for an aquarium, but first you must determine how big the aquarium will be. The owner of the aquarium store tells you his rule of thumb is to purchase “a total length of fish of 3 inches for each 2 gallons of water in the aquarium.”
1. How many gallons of water would you need if you had a 4-inch fish and a 2-inch fish? Draw a diagram to explain your reasoning.
2. Define variables for the quantities that are changing in this problem situation.
3. Write an equation for each:
a. fish-inches based on the gallons of water
b. gallons of water based on fish-inches
Drawing a model would be really helpful here.

LESSON 3: Fish-Inches • M1-129
4. Use one of your equations to solve each problem.
a. If an aquarium holds 10 gallons of water, how many fish-inches should you purchase?
b. If you want to purchase a 5-inch fish, two 2-inch fish, and three 3-inch fish, how many gallons of water should the aquarium hold?
5. Determine the constant of proportionality given by each equation and explain what it means in context.

4. What is the unit rate for each graph? Explain how you can determine the unit rate using the graph.
5. Use one of your graphs to determine each answer.
a. How many inches of fish can fit into 10 gallons of water?
b. How many gallons are needed for 7 1 __ 2 inches of fish?
6. Use one of the graphs to estimate each answer. Explain how you used the graph to determine your estimate.
a. How many gallons would be needed for 16 inches of fish?
b. How many inches of fish would fit into 16 gallons?
The constant of proportionality is represented on the graph, too. Can you locate it?

Assignment
LESSON 3: Fish-Inches • M1-137
PracticeDetermine the constant of proportionality k and interpret it in the context of each problem.
RememberWhen the relationship between two quantities
is proportional, the graph of the relationship is a
straight line that passes through the origin. The
point (1, r) represents the unit rate and the ratio r __ 1
represents the constant of proportionality, k.
WriteGiven a graph of a proportional relationship, the
quotient of the y-value of any ordered pair divided
by the x-value of that ordered pair is the constant
of proportionality. Explain why.
1. The graph shows the relationship between the
distance in miles between you and a storm and
the number of seconds between when you see
lightning and when you hear thunder.

StretchAt any given time of the day, the length of your shadow is proportional to your height. Suppose a person
who is 81 inches tall casts a shadow that is 94.5 inches long. Another person in the same place casts a
shadow that is 84 inches long. How tall is the second person?
