Complete Question
Mr Sampson fills the family pool with water for the summer.After two hours,the water has reached a depth of 2.5 feet. After three hours,the water level has risen to 3 3/4 feet.If the relationship between time and water depth is proportional,what is the constant of proportionality?
Answer:
1.33
Explanation:
Time is proportional to Depth
Hence:
T ∝ D
T = kD
Where k is the constant of proportionality
After two hours,the water has reached a depth of 2.5 feet. After three hours,the water level has risen to 3 3/4 feet.
Total number of hours now is 3 + 2 = 5 hours
5 = k × 3 3/4
5 = k × 3.75
k = 5/3.75
k = 1.33
