Sam can type 368 words in 8 minutes. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the number of words typed, y , to the number of minutes it took to type, x ? (Remember that constant of proportionality is k = yxyx )(1 point)Responses50 words per minute50 words per minute46 words per minute46 words per minute44 words per minute44 words per minute36 words per minute
To find the constant of proportionality, we divide the number of words typed (y) by the number of minutes it took to type (x).
k = y/x
In this case, y = 368 and x = 8.
k = 368/8 = 46
Therefore, the constant of proportionality that relates the number of words typed to the number of minutes it took to type is 46.
The correct response is 46 words per minute.
