Sam can type 368 words in 8 minutes. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the number of words typed, y , to the number of minutes it took to type, x ?

1 answer

To find the constant of proportionality, we divide the number of words typed (y) by the number of minutes it took to type (x).

k = y/x

In this case, y = 368 and x = 8.

k = 368/8 = 46

Therefore, the constant of proportionality that relates the number of words typed to the number of minutes it took to type is 46.

The correct response is 46 words per minute.
