Question

The weight of 6 eggs is shown. Identify the constant of proportionality of total weight to number of

eggs.
СХ. o
The weight of 6 eggs is 246 g
The constant of proportionality is
grams per egg.

Answer 1

• Constant of proportionality be k

Weight of 6eggs is 246g

Hence

`\\ \sf\longmapsto a=bk`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 246=6k`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto k=246/6`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto k=41`

Answer 2

• 41 g per egg

Explanation:

Proportional relationship:

• y = kx

Given:

• x = 6,
• y = 246

Find k:

• 246 = 6k
• k = 246/6
• k = 41
