Question

A recip says use 3 cups is flour to make 48 cookies what is the contact of proportionality that relays the number of cookies made y, to the number of cups of used, X

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

y = k * x

Where,

y = number of cookies made = 48

x = number of cups of used = 3

k = constant of proportionality

y = k * x

48 = k * 3

48 = 3k

k = 48/3

k = 16

Therefore,

The constant of proportionality = 16
