Complete Question

Mr Sampson fills the family pool with water for the summer.After two hours,the water has reached a depth of 2.5 feet. After three hours,the water level has risen to 3 3/4 feet.If the relationship between time and water depth is proportional,what is the constant of proportionality?

Answer:

1.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Time is proportional to Depth

Hence:

T ∝ D

T = kD

Where k is the constant of proportionality

After two hours,the water has reached a depth of 2.5 feet. After three hours,the water level has risen to 3 3/4 feet.

Total number of hours now is 3 + 2 = 5 hours

5 = k × 3 3/4

5 = k × 3.75

k = 5/3.75

k = 1.33
