Answer:

k = 42

the constant of proportionality in this inverse variation is 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of people that want cake

And y the number of slices each can have;

Since x is inversely proportional to y;

x = k/y .....1

Where k is the proportionality constant;

To solve for k, we will substitute any of the case scenario given into equation 1.

If 14 people want cake, then they can each have 3 slices;

x = 14 , y = 3

substituting;

14 = k/3

k = 14 × 3 = 42

k = 42

the constant of proportionality in this inverse variation is 42.

Therefore,

x = 42/y
