Jan can eat 0.40 hot dogs per minute.
Again, a spreadsheet or suitable calculator makes this short work.
The sum is 184.
_____
The terms being summed are ...
2·3² +3 = 2·9 +3 = 18 +3 = 21
2·4² +3 = 35
2·5² +3 = 53
2·6² +3 = 75
Their total is
21 +35 +53 +75 = 184
In effect, there is a proportional relationship between the mass and the volume of the pieces of metal. The equation of the line that adapts to the given data is given by: y = 0.1174x. Therefore the proportionality constant is 0.1174
