During your morning workout, you run for 20 seconds for every 3 seconds you sprint. Determine the constant of proportionality for the ratio between the number of seconds you run and the number of seconds you sprint.

Constant of proportionality; k = 20/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let running be A and sprinting be B.

Now, we are told that you run 20 seconds for every 3 seconds you sprint.

This means that is directly proportional to B and written as; A ∝ B.

Now, constant of proportionality is simply the ratio between 2 quantities that are directly proportional.

Thus, A = kB

Where k is the constant of proportionality

Plugging in the values of A and B we are given, we have;

20 = 3k

Divide both sides by 3 to get;

k = 20/3

1/5x+9 2/5y+7

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
