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 those words, x?

1 answer

The constant of proportionality can be found by dividing the number of words typed by the number of minutes it took to type those words.

Constant of proportionality = Number of words typed / Number of minutes

Constant of proportionality = 368 / 8 = 46.
