Using a proportional relationship, the fewest number of vegetables that can be used to make this salad is:
C. 4
What is a proportional relationship?
A proportional relationship is a function in which the output variable is given by the input variable multiplied by a constant of proportionality, that is:
y = kx
In which k is the constant of proportionality.
For this problem, looming at the table, we have that the number of Broccoli is triple the number of carrots, hence the proportional function is:
B = 3C.
When there is one carrot, the number of broccoli is given by:
B = 3 x 1 = 3.
Hence the fewest number of vegetables is of 4, as 1 carrot + 3 broccoli = 4 vegetables, hence option C is correct.
