Caroline swam 700 meters in 7 minutes at a constant speed. The distance she swims is proportional to the time spent swimming. What is the constant of proportionality in terms of meters per minute?(2 points) Responses 110 110 100
To find the constant of proportionality, we need to divide the distance (700 meters) by the time (7 minutes):
Constant of proportionality = distance/time = 700 meters / 7 minutes = <<700/7=100>>100 meters per minute.
So, the constant of proportionality is 100 meters per minute.
To find the constant of proportionality in terms of meters per minute, we can divide the total distance Caroline swam by the total time she spent swimming.
The constant of proportionality is calculated as:
Constant of proportionality = Total distance / Total time
In this case, Caroline swam 700 meters in 7 minutes.
Constant of proportionality = 700 meters / 7 minutes = 100 meters/minute
Therefore, the constant of proportionality in terms of meters per minute is 100.
To find the constant of proportionality, we need to divide the distance by the time. In this case, Caroline swam 700 meters in 7 minutes, so:
Constant of proportionality = Distance / Time
Constant of proportionality = 700 meters / 7 minutes
Simplifying the expression, we get:
Constant of proportionality = 100 meters per minute
Therefore, the correct answer is 100 meters per minute.
