(ó﹏ò。) hey uh- a lil' help here pls

As a young girl, Carmen enjoyed watching her father make things in his woodworking shop. Now that she's grown up, Carmen builds wooden furniture for a living. Her most popular product is a cedar porch swing.
There is a proportional relationship between the time (in days) Carmen spends making porch swings, x, and the number of swings she builds, y.
x (days) y (swings)
12 6
16 8
18 9
20 10
What is the constant of proportionality? Write your answer as a whole number or decimal.
swings per day

Well, it's really simple actually. You don't need to focus on all those extra words on the top, focus on days and swings

In 20 days, Carmen swings 10 times.

In 10 days, Carmen swings 5 times.

If you notice, Y is multipled 0.5 of the original, so half

This means, 1 day (X) is swung 0.5 (Y)

I think Carmen is a possesed little girl for pulling that off

If you have any questions, feedback, or problems, let me know
