And you can do it for the last one also but now that you have the information what do you think the answer is?

Answer 13

for example let the volume V than you wan to exprime the proportionality of caramel corn you write it ,,caramel corn / V " and for hot pepper corn the same ,,hot pepper corn/V " so dividing them will get the constant of proportionality

like 16/10 = 1,6
