Question

This table represents a proportional relationship. Use the table to identify the constant of proportionality between the ratio of the number of laps to the number of swimmers.
A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled Number of Swimmers with entries 20, 18, 14, 9. Column 2 is labeled Number of Laps with entries 240, 216, 168, 108.

The constant of proportionality is
.

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer i 12

Answer 2

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality in direct variation has this formula with a being the constant of proportionality: $a = \frac{y}{x}$

Column 1 has the x-values and Column 2 has the y-values. If you divide the x-values by the corresponding y-values, you will get an $a$ value of 12.
