Question

At the Custard Creamery, the cost of ice cream custard is directly proportional to its weight in ounces. Complete the equation of the graph with its constant of proportionality.

(1 point) .

Answer 1

To express the relationship where the cost of ice cream custard is directly proportional to its weight, you can use the equation:

\[ C = k \cdot w \]

where:
- \( C \) is the cost of the ice cream custard,
- \( w \) is the weight in ounces,
- \( k \) is the constant of proportionality (the cost per ounce).

To complete the equation, you would need to know the value of \( k \). For example, if the cost is $2 per ounce, then:

\[ C = 2w \]

In this case, 2 would be the constant of proportionality. If you have a specific cost per ounce from the problem or an example, you can substitute that value for \( k \).
