To find the constant of proportionality for Jimmy, we divide the number of pages he reads (15) by the time it takes him to read those pages (5): 15/5 = 3. Therefore, Jimmy's constant of proportionality is 3.
To find the constant of proportionality for Carlo, we divide the number of pages he reads (12) by the time it takes him to read those pages (6): 12/6 = 2. Therefore, Carlo's constant of proportionality is 2.
In the proportional relationship between the number of pages read and the time taken to read those pages, Jimmy has a constant of proportionality of 3 and Carlo has a constant of proportionality of 2. Therefore, for every 1 minute of reading, Jimmy reads 3 pages, while Carlo reads 2 pages.
Jimmy reads 15 pages in 5 minutes. Carlo reads 12 pages in 6 minutes. Find each constant of proportionality show your work. Then write a sentence to compared the proportional relationship.
