Question

The Bountiful Harvest Festival awarded Megan and her dad first prize for their garlic fries last year, so they're making them again this year. The key to their success is using fresh potatoes. There is a proportional relationship between the number of potatoes Megan peels, x, and the amount of time (in minutes) it takes to peel that many potatoes, y.

Answer 1

Hello. You forgot to add the attached figure.

Answer:

The proportionality constant is equal to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When we analyze the quantities of potatoes and the time spent to peel them, we can see that these two ratios are equal, which indicates that the values are proportional between the two, allowing the proportionality constant to be equal to 1.

This proportionality exists in environments where the values of two quantities are proportional and constant, allowing for a harmonious balance and a constant of proportionality.
