Question

Jimmy reads 15 pages in 5 minutes. Carlo reads 12 pages in 6 minutes. Find each constant of proportionality, showing your work. Then write a sentence to compare the proportional relationships.(2 points)

Answer 1

To find the constant of proportionality, we need to divide the number of pages by the number of minutes for each person.

For Jimmy:
Constant of proportionality = 15 pages / 5 minutes = 3 pages/minute

For Carlo:
Constant of proportionality = 12 pages / 6 minutes = 2 pages/minute

To compare the proportional relationships, we can say that for every minute, Jimmy reads 3 pages while Carlo reads 2 pages.
