To find the constant of proportionality between distance and time, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Constant of Proportionality} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
In this case, Mia swims 120 meters in 10 seconds. So, you would calculate:
\[
\text{Constant of Proportionality} = \frac{120 \text{ meters}}{10 \text{ seconds}} = 12 \text{ meters per second}
\]
Thus, the constant of proportionality is **12**.
\[
\text{Constant of Proportionality} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
In this case, Mia swims 120 meters in 10 seconds. So, you would calculate:
