Question

The weight of 3 eggs is 120g.Assuming the three eggs are all the same weight find the constant of proportionality

Answer 1

Each egg weighs 40g...

Answer 2

`k = 40\,(gram)/(egg)`

Explanation:

This problem is a case of direct proportionality. That is:

`m \propto n`

Where:

`m` - Net weight, in gram.

`n` - Number of eggs, dimensionless.

If 3 eggs have a net weight of 120 gram and each egg has the same mass, then, the constant of proportionality is
`k = 40\,(gram)/(egg)`.
