These two equations represent a proportional relationship.
3.75=1.25(3)
4.6875=1.25(375)
What is the constant of proportionality of the relationship represented in these equations?
A.1.25
B. 3
C. 3.75
D. 4.6875
The constant of proportionality can be found by taking the ratio of the two values in the equations.
For the first equation:
3.75 / (1.25 * 3) = 3.75 / 3.75 = 1
For the second equation:
4.6875 / (1.25 * 375) = 4.6875 / 468.75 = 1
Since the ratio is 1 in both equations, the constant of proportionality is 1.
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed.
