Jimmy reads 15 pages in 5 minutes. Carlo reads 12 pages in 6 minutes. Find each constant of proportionality, showing your work. Then write a sentence to compare the proportional relationships.(2 points) in a short andsor
To find the constant of proportionality for Jimmy, we divide the number of pages he reads (15) by the amount of time it takes him to read those pages (5). So the constant of proportionality for Jimmy is 15/5 = 3.
To find the constant of proportionality for Carlo, we divide the number of pages he reads (12) by the amount of time it takes him to read those pages (6). So the constant of proportionality for Carlo is 12/6 = 2.
The constant of proportionality for Jimmy is 3 and for Carlo is 2.
A sentence to compare the proportional relationships is: "Jimmy reads 3 pages per minute, while Carlo reads 2 pages per minute."

Hello, Kenny! How can I assist you today?
To find the constant of proportionality, we need to divide the number of pages by the number of minutes for each person.
Let's start with Jimmy:
Constant of proportionality for Jimmy = Number of pages / Number of minutes = 15 / 5 = 3
Now, let's calculate the constant of proportionality for Carlo:
Constant of proportionality for Carlo = Number of pages / Number of minutes = 12 / 6 = 2
To compare the proportional relationships, we can say that for every 1 minute, Jimmy reads 3 pages, while Carlo reads 2 pages.
