Question

Damian can make 3 free throw shots in 10 seconds and 18 free shots in a minute. What is the constant of proportionally? (Answer to nearest tenth.)

Answer 1

To find the constant of proportionality, we can use the ratio of the number of shots made to the time taken.

First, let's convert the time to seconds for easier calculations.
Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, Damian made 18 shots in 60 seconds.
Now, let's set up the ratio:
3 shots / 10 seconds = 18 shots / 60

To find the constant of proportionality, we need to find the ratio between the number of shots and the time. We can do this by cross-multiplying:
3 * 60 = 18 * 10
180 = 180
