Question

The volume of a box(V) varies directly with its length(l). If one of the boxes has a volume of 325 cubic inches and a length of 13 inches, what is the constant of proportionality for the group of boxes?

1/25
4,225
25

Answer 1

k = 25

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Volume = 325 in³

Length = 13 inches

To find the constant of proportionality, k;

Mathematically, direct proportion is given by the expression;

V = kL

k = V/L

Substituting into the formula, we have;

k = 325/13

k = 25
