Answer:
- k = 45 . . . miles per hour
- k = 1/45 . . . hours per mile
Explanation:
One way we can relate distance and time is ...
time = k × distance
Then the value of k (the constant of proportionality) is ...
k = time/distance = 4 hours/(180 miles)
k = (1/45) hours/mile
__
Another way we can relate the variables is ...
distance = k × time
Then the value of k (the constant of proportionality) is ...
k = distance/time = (180 miles)/(4 hours)
k = 45 miles/hour
