Question

Mia swims 120 meters in 10 seconds. Identity the constant of proportionality between the distance and the time.
10.5
12
8
15

Answer 1

To find the constant of proportionality between the distance and the time, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Constant of Proportionality} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]

Given that Mia swims 120 meters in 10 seconds, we can substitute these values into the formula:

\[
\text{Constant of Proportionality} = \frac{120 \text{ meters}}{10 \text{ seconds}} = 12 \text{ meters/second}
\]

Thus, the constant of proportionality is **12**.
