To find the ratio of the constant of proportionality, we need to determine the relationship between the number of pages read and the time it takes.
Given that Ruth can read 15 pages in 30 minutes, we can set up the following proportion:
15 pages / 30 minutes = K, where K is the constant of proportionality.
To simplify this proportion, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 15:
1 page / 2 minutes = K
Therefore, the correct ratio for the constant of proportionality is C: (15, 1/2).
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)

Apologies for the confusion. I made a mistake in the previous response.
From the given information, Ruth can read 15 pages in 30 minutes.
To find the constant of proportionality, we need to determine how many pages Ruth can read in 1 minute.
If she can read 15 pages in 30 minutes, then she can read 1 page in 30/15 = 2 minutes.
Therefore, the ratio of the constant of proportionality is A: (2, 60).
