4. The constant of proportionality between the height of the water in a sink (h) in centimeters and the
number of minutes it has been filling (m) is 0.95. The sink has been filling for 40 minutes. What is the height of the water in the sink?

water height = 0.95 * minutes

To find the height of the water in the sink, we can use the equation h = km, where k is the constant of proportionality. In this case, the constant of proportionality is given as 0.95.
Given that the sink has been filling for 40 minutes, we can substitute this value into the equation:
h = 0.95 * 40
h = 38
Therefore, the height of the water in the sink is 38 centimeters.
To arrive at this answer, we simply multiplied the constant of proportionality (0.95) by the number of minutes (40).
h/t = 0.95.
h/40 = 0.95,
h =
