The table below shows that the number of miles driven by Taylor is directly proportional to the number of gallons she used.
Gallons Used /Miles Driven
42 1125.6
48 1286.4
50 1340
What is the constant of proportionality between the number of miles driven and the number of gallons used?

Respuesta :

Answer:

24.3

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{Gallons}{Miles} =\frac{Gallons}{Miles}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{g}{884.52} =\frac{22113}{910}[/tex]

910g = 25 x 884.52

[tex]\frac{910g}{910} =\frac{22113}{910}[/tex]

g = 24.3

This is the correct answer. Hoped this helped!

The constant of proportionality is 26.8

Calculating the number of miles driven per gallon of fuel used:

1125.6/42 = 26.8

1286.4/48 = 26.8

1340/50 = 26.8

we get 26.8 miles traveled in one gallon fuel.

if we represent gallons of fuel by x and miles traveled by y, the equation thus formed will be:

                  y = 26.8x

hence the constant of proportionality is 26.8
