Question

Mr. López teaches his classes how to make maraca instruments by filling plastic eggshells with dried beans Mr. López uses the equation p= 0.75n to find the number of pounds, p, of beans needed for “n” classes.

What is the constant of proportionality between p and n?


Pleaseee I need it
Thank you

Answer 1

The constant of proportionality between p (pounds of beans) and n (number of classes) in the equation p = 0.75n is 0.75. In this equation, 0.75 represents the ratio of the number of pounds of beans (p) to the number of classes (n). It tells you that for each class, 0.75 pounds of beans are needed, making it the constant of proportionality.
