<span>The constant of proportionality (known as "speed" in this case) is 12.5 miles per hour. 
d= 12.5 x t 
</span>

To find the constant of proportionality, divide one value in each pair by the other. If this relationship is a true direct proportionality , when you repeat these for every pair, your will come up with the same value:

For example

<span>25miles÷2hours=12.5<span>mileshour</span></span>

A direct proportionality will always result in an equation that resembles this:

<span>y=kx</span>

where y and x are the related quantities and k is the constant of proportionality. If you draw a graph using the values you have, the graph will show a straight line the passes through the origin. The slope of this line will be the constant of proportionality. (And if the values given are real physical quantities, this constant will contain important information about the situation you are studying!)

The equation is 12.5n where n stands for any hour that Phil is riding his bike. I'm using the nth term here though.

a red car is traveling 15 miles per hour faster than a blue car. if the red car travels 180 miles in the time needed for the blu
vlabodo [156]
Their distance differs by 15 miles for each hour of travel time. Thus, the travel time of interest is
.. (180 -144) miles/(15 miles/hour) = 2.4 hour

The red car's speed is 180 mi/(2.4 h) = 75 mi/h.
The blue car's speed is 144 mi/(2.4 h) = 60 mi/h.

quester [9]

Answer:

28 numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a distance of 81 between -0.5 and 80.5. Divide this number by 3, since you are only counting every third number and you will get 27, but you need to count the first number, which has been excluded. Add one more to get the answer, 28.
