Question

An albatross is a large bird that can fly 400 kilometers in 8 hours at a constant speed. Using d for distance in kilometers and t for number of hours, an equation that represents this situation is d=50t. What are two constants of proportionality for the relationship between distance in kilometers and number of hours? Enter the larger of the two constants of proportionality.

Answer 1

Distance (d): 400 km

Time (t)= 8 hours

Direct relation formula: y=kx

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

d=50t

k=50

Constant of proportionality is
