Question

The weight of 3 eggs is 120g.Assuming the three eggs are all the same weight find the constant of proportionality

Answer 1

Each egg weighs 40g...

Answer 2

Answer:

$k = 40\,\frac{gram}{egg}$

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is a case of direct proportionality. That is:

$m \propto n$

Where:

$m$ - Net weight, in gram.

$n$ - Number of eggs, dimensionless.

If 3 eggs have a net weight of 120 gram and each egg has the same mass, then, the constant of proportionality is $k = 40\,\frac{gram}{egg}$.
