Ruth can read 15 pages in 30 minutes. She decides to create a table to keep track of her progress. From the data provided at what ratio is the constant of proportionality

A:(2, 60)

B: (1, 30)

C:(15, 1/2)

D:( 1/1/2, 30)

3 answers

The ratio between the number of pages read and the time taken is constant. Let's calculate this ratio using the given data:

Ratio = Pages / Time

For option A, the ratio would be: 2 / 60 = 1/30
For option B, the ratio would be: 1 / 30 = 1/30
For option C, the ratio would be: 15 / (1/2) = 15 * 2 = 30
For option D, the ratio would be: (1/1/2) / 30 = 2/3 * 30 = 20

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C: (15, 1/2)
We're doing Fractions here, what is the answer?
Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the ratio using the given data:

Ratio = Pages / Time

For option A, the ratio would be: 2 / 60 = 1/30
For option B, the ratio would be: 1 / 30 = 1/30
For option C, the ratio would be: 15 / (1/2) = 15 * 2 = 30
For option D, the ratio would be: (1/1/2) / 30 = 2/3 * 30 = 20

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C: (15, 1/2)
