Question

You went 160 miles in 20 hours. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the y, the distance in miles to x, the time in hours?

Answer 1

X = Y times 8

Explanation:

You need to figure out how many miles you can go in an hour.

160/x and 20/1

20x=160

x=8

You can go 8 miles in 1 hour.

Therefore, if X is 1 and Y is 1

1 = 8

1 hour equals 8 miles
