Question

What is the constant of proportionality in the table below?

Answer 1

2/5

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:
`(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

The constant of proportionality 'k' between two variables ( one independent and one dependent ) is given by :-

`k=\frac{\text{Value of dependent variable}}{\text{Value of independent variable}}`

In the given table, independent variable = Days

Dependent variable = Total Miles

From first row, Days = 3

Total Miles =
`1(1)/(5)=(6)/(5)`

Then, the constant of proportionality in the table

`k=((6)/(5))/(3)=(6)/(5*3)=(2)/(5)`

Hence, the constant of proportionality in the table is
`(2)/(5)` .
