14) For the situation below determine the independent value, the dependent value, and the constant of proportionality for both r
atios. Confirm your calculations by setting up a proportion with the two ratios and then cross-multiplying. A cheetah ran 9.6 miles in 8 minutes, and 18 miles in 15 minutes. (Hint: Use the distance formula if needed.)
The independent variable is number of minutes and the dependent variable is number of miles. Constant of proportionality is 1.2 because 9.6/8=1.2 and 18/15=1.2
