Given y= 4/3x what is the constant of proportionality
Direct variation means the constant of proportionality is y/x.
Cross multiplying, we get:
y/x = 4/3
You prepare 18 scoops of dog food for 6 dogs, and prepare 24 scoops of dog food for 8 dogs. What is the constant of proportionality for the amount of dog food to the number of dogs? How many scoops of dog food should you prepare for 9 dogs?
18/6 = 24/8 = 3 as the constant of proportionality for...
