Paula knits hats. The number of hats h she can knit varies directly with the amount of yarn (y) in yards she has. The constant of proportionality is 42. H = 42y. What does the constant of proportionality, 42, represent in this problem?
- answer correctly

The way this problem is written, the constant 42 is the multiplier of yards to get hats. That is, it has units of hats per yard, so represents the number of hats that can be knit from 1 yard of yarn.

Comment on the problem

It seems more likely that the proportion should be written as ...

y = 42h

or

h = y/42

Then the constant would be the number of yards of yarn required for each hat.
