Question

An albatross can fly 400 kilometers in 8 hours at a constant speed using d as distance and t as number of hours. An equation that represents this situation is d=50t what are two contants of proportionality for the relationship between distance in kilometers and number of hours? What is the relaionship between the two values?

Answer 1

Answer:

Constant of Proportionality is 50.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Albatross can fly 400 kilometers in 8 hours.

'd' represents the distance and 't' represents the number of hours.

The equation $d=50t$ represents the relationship between the distance and time.

Now, in the equation shown above 50 is the constant of proportionality, and 50 represents the rate of change of distance with time.

The constant of proportionality tells us the rate of change between two variables.

So for every 1 hour of time the distance covered is 50 kilometers.
