it takes julian 12 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 answer

The constant of proportionality appears in the ratio between the time it takes Julian to walk and the distance he walks. In this case, the constant of proportionality would be the time it takes Julian to walk one mile.

To find this ratio, we divide the total time by the total distance. In this case, since Julian walks 2 miles in 12 hours, the ratio would be:

12 hours / 2 miles = 6 hours/mile

Therefore, the constant of proportionality appears at a ratio of 6 hours/mile.
