Answer 1

To find the constant of proportionality, we can use the formula k = y/x, where k represents the constant of proportionality, y represents the dependent variable (number of pages read), and x represents the independent variable (time in minutes).

For Jimmy, the constant of proportionality is k = 15/5 = 3.

For Carlo, the constant of proportionality is k = 12/6 = 2.

To compare the proportional relationships, we can say that for every minute, Jimmy reads 3 pages while Carlo reads 2 pages.
