Answer 1

Constant of Proportionality = 15.20

What's proportionality?

Suppose there are two amounts. Proportionality indicates that if there's a change in the value of one number, the value of other number also changes but maintaining a constant ratio

Proportionality can be direct or inverse

Direct proportion

Two amounts are said to be in direct proportion if on increasing the value of one number, the value of other number also increases and vice versa.

For illustration cost of a commodity and volume of a commodity are in direct proportion

Inverse proportion

Two amounts are said to be in inverse proportion if on increases the value of one number, the value of other volume diminishes and vice versa.

For illustration Number of men and number of days taken by those men to complete a job

From the table, we can calculate the constant of proportionality

Constant of Proportionality =

                                                $\frac{304 - 243.20}{20 -16}\\\frac{60.80}{4}\\15.20$
