Answer: C =1.35f The constant of proportionality is the coefficient of the variable. Here it is 1.35.

If the equation can be used to calculate the change in the output and the output changes at a constant rate that matches the constant of proportionality,. It is proportional.

Step-by-step explanation: Given:

4C = 5.4f where C represents the batches of Cookies and f represents the cups of flour.

You need to find the amount of f per C.

So divide both sides by 4.

C= 5.4/4

C= 1.35f

This means that each batch of cookies requires 1.35 cups of flour.
