While in math class, Priya and Kiran come up with two ways of thinking about the proportional relationship illustrated in the table below.
>W 13 y
w 22?
w 3 5 1750
th students agree that they need to solve this equation
get to the constant of proportionality:
5k = 1750
ad each student's explanation and answer the questions
at follow.
• Priya says, "I can solve this equation by dividing 1750 by 5."
Kiran says, "I can solve this equation by multiplying 1750 by }
1. What value of k would each student get if they use their own method?
2. How are Priya and Kiran's approach related?
3. Explain how each student might approach the following equation:
Ek = 50
