Question

It takes Miranda 30 minutes to paint 6 chairs. If Miranda paints at a constant rate, what is the constant of proportionality that relates y, the number of chairs painted in x minutes?

Answer 1

1/5

Explanation:

y = kx where k is the constant of proportionality

6 = k 30

Divide each side by 30

6/30 = k 30/30

1/5 = k

The constant is 1/5
