Question

Hey can you pleas help me on this math problem thank you

Answer 1

Given:

Nolan wraps 36 presents in 12 hours on Saturday

And wraps 42 presents in 14 hours on Friday

If y = number of gifts, and x = number of hours

So, the proportional equation will be as follows:

`y=kx`

Where k is the constant of proportionality

Total gifts = y = 36 + 42 = 78

Total hours = x = 12 + 14 = 26

So, subtitute into the euation to find k

`\begin{gathered} 78=k\cdot26 \\ k=(78)/(26)=3 \end{gathered}`

So, the answer will be the constant = 3
