Identifying the Constant of Proportionality. ... The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities. In our tomato example, that ratio is $3.00/2, which equals $1.50. Two quantities are directly proportional when they increase and decrease at the same rate.
25 over 100 as a percent is 25% and 25 over 100 as a decimal is .25
Let the amount of shells collected by Aaron be
and the amount of shells collected by Maria be
respectively. Then the following system of equations should be solved:
First of all, express
out of first equation:
Then, replace
in second equation with found expression and solve it:
Finally, replace
in first equation with found value and solve it too:
So, Aaron has found
7 shells while Maria has found
21.

Answer:
12.8mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'w' represent her walking speed
->if her jogging speed is 8mph faster than her walking speed
Jogging speed= w+8
Using the time equation i.e time = dist/speed
For walking when distance is 8miles
time = dist / speed= 8/w hrs
For jogging when distance is 13miles
time = dist / speed= 13/(w+8) hrs
Equating the time
jog time = walk time
13/(w+8) = 8/w
By cross multiplying it
13w = 8w + 64
5w = 64
w=64/5
w=12.8mph
Therefore, 12.8mph is her walking speed.
