Question

What is the constant of proportionality for the following table?

Answer 1

`k = 5`

Explanation:

Given

The table

Required

Determine the constant of proportionality (k)

Represent the time with T and the amount of water with W

k is calculated as follows;

`k = (W)/(T)`

Pick any corresponding values of W and T

`W = 5 \\T=1`

So

`k =(5)/(1)`

`k = 5`

Hence, the constant of proportionality is 5
