To find the constant of proportionality, we need to divide the cost of the ice cream custard by its weight in ounces.
Let's represent the cost of the ice cream custard as C and the weight in ounces as W.
The equation of the graph is C = kW, where k is the constant of proportionality.
From the information given, we have:
C = $15.00 (cost of ice cream custard)
W = 3.00 oz (weight in ounces)
To find the constant of proportionality k, we divide the cost by the weight:
k = C/W
= $15.00/3.00 oz
= $5.00/oz
Therefore, the equation of the graph with its constant of proportionality is C = $5.00W.
the cost of ice cream custard is $15.00 and the weight in ounces it $3.00
At the Custard Creamery, the cost of ice cream custard is directly proportional to its weight in ounces. Complete the equation of the graph with its constant of proportionality.
