The constant of proportionality appears in the ratio (1/4, 1). Here's why:
In the data table, we have the distance (in miles) Julian walks on the left side and the time (in hours) it takes him on the right side.
From the information given, we know that it takes Julian 1/2 hour to walk 2 miles. To find the constant of proportionality, we divide the distance by the time:
2 miles รท 1/2 hour = 4 miles/hour
So, the constant of proportionality is 4 miles/hour. In a ratio format, this can be expressed as (1/4, 1) because for every 1 hour, Julian walks 4 miles.
It takes Julian 1/2 hour to walk 2 miles. He decides to start walking in his spare time, but because he wants to make sure he has enough time to go a desired distance he created the data table. At which ratio does the constant of proportionality appear
1. (1,4)
2. (4,1)
3. (1, 1/4)
4. (1/4, 1)
