During your morning workout you run for 20 seconds for every 3 seconds you sprint. Write a proportion that shows the relationship between the number of seconds you run, the number of seconds you sprint, and the constant of proportionality
In the part 1 we calculate the constant of proportionality
k=20/3
Remember that
y -----> the number of seconds you run
x -----> the number of seconds you sprint
so
The linear equation that represent the relationship between x and y is
y=(20/3)x
the proprtion is
y/x=20/3
k=20/3
Part 3
Rewrite the proportion as an equation to represent the number of seconds you run in terms of the number of seconds you sprint
the proportion is
y/x=20/3
frewrite as equation
y=(20/3)x
