Diego says the constant of proportionality is 550 Andrew say is the constant of proportionality is 9 1/6 do you agree with either of them explain your reason

Respuesta :

Answer:

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A plane traveling at a constant speed flew over Pittsburgh, Saint Louis, Albuquerque, and Phoenix on its way from New York to San Diego.

Complete the table as you answer the questions. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.

       segment                              time                     distance        speed

Pittsburgh to Saint Louis    1 hour                    550 miles  

Saint Louis to Albuquerque 1 hour 42 minutes  

Albuquerque to Phoenix                             330 miles  

Step-by-step explanation:

We can complete the table as :

  segment                              time                     distance        speed

Pittsburgh to Saint Louis    1 hour                   550 miles   550 miles/hour

Saint Louis to Albuquerque 1 hour 42 minutes    93.5 miles 550 miles/hour

Albuquerque to Phoenix   3/5 hour           330 miles 550 miles/hour

Since it is given in the question that the plane is flying in a constant speed from one place top another place.

So, it is maintaining the same speed to cover different distances for different time.

Thus the constant of proportionality is 550.
