Answer is option C
Mr. Jones jogs the same route each day. The amount of time he jogs is inversely proportional to his jogging rate.
k is the constant of proportionality
We check with each option and identify which option gives us same K value
(a) 4 mph for 2.5 hours and 6 mph for 3.75 hours
so k = 10
so k = 22.5
K values are not same
(b) 3 mph for 2 hours and 4.5 mph for 3 hours
so k = 6
so k = 13.5
K values are not same
(c) 4 mph for 2.5 hours and 5 mph for 2 hours
so k = 10
so k =10
K values are same .
Answer is option C
Answer:
NOT PROPORTIONAL
Step-by-step explanation:
The given two fractions are: and
.
Proportional fractions are those which have the same value when to reduced to the simplest form.
Consider two fractions and
.
We say they are proportional if .
Or, if then we can say the fractions are proportional.
Here the fractions are: and
.
LHS: 5 X 10 = 50.
RHS: 8 X 8 = 64.
Clearly they are not equal. So, we can say these two fractions are not proportional.
