kevin is told that for a particular math problem, the value of y is always 32 times the value of x. kevin writes the equation y = 32 x to show the relatioship between x and y. what is the constant of proportionality?

jimmy reads 15 pages in 5 minutes. carlo reads 12 pages in 6 minutes. find each constant of proportionality, showing your work. then write a sentence to compare the proportional relationships.

The constant of proportionality in this equation is 32.
Answered by GPT 3.5
To find the constant of proportionality, we need to divide the number of pages by the number of minutes for each person.

For Jimmy:
Constant of Proportionality = Number of pages / Number of minutes
Constant of Proportionality = 15 pages / 5 minutes
Constant of Proportionality = 3 pages/minute

For Carlo:
Constant of Proportionality = Number of pages / Number of minutes
Constant of Proportionality = 12 pages / 6 minutes
Constant of Proportionality = 2 pages/minute

To compare the proportional relationships, we can say that Jimmy reads 3 pages per minute, while Carlo reads 2 pages per minute. Jimmy reads at a faster rate than Carlo.
