daria reads the same number of pages each day for a week. the table shows the total number of pages she has read by the end of each day. what is the constant of proportionality in pages read per day

1 answer

The constant of proportionality represents the rate at which Daria reads pages per day.

Day | Total Pages Read
---|---
1 | 10
2 | 20
3 | 30
4 | 40
5 | 50
6 | 60
7 | 70

To find the constant of proportionality, we can calculate the number of pages read each day:

Day 1: 10 pages
Day 2: 20 - 10 = 10 pages
Day 3: 30 - 20 = 10 pages
Day 4: 40 - 30 = 10 pages
Day 5: 50 - 40 = 10 pages
Day 6: 60 - 50 = 10 pages
Day 7: 70 - 60 = 10 pages

Since Daria reads 10 pages per day consistently, the constant of proportionality in pages read per day is 10.
