Question

The table shows the distance traveled by a runner. Use the table to find the constant of proportionality. Express your answer in decimal form.

Answer 1

9.1

Explanation:

I'm not sure how to explain it but I'll try!

What I did is just divided the distance (mi) by the time (h).

For example, when you divide 4.55 ÷ 0.5, you get 9.1.

Doing the same for each set of numbers will always get you 9.1.

You could also check by multiplying the time by 9.1.

For example, 1.5 × 9.1 gives you 13.65, which is the distance for that set of numbers.

i hope this makes sense! if not i could try to re-explain
