Question

Samantha is making pancakes. The recipes makes 12 pancakes with some flour, milk, and 4 eggs. Considering the amount of eggs she needs, what is the constant of proportionality?

Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

If e represents the number of eggs Samantha needs for p pancakes, it appears we're being asked for k in the equation ...

e = kp

Filling in the given values and solving for k, we have ...

4 = k·12

4/12 = k = 1/3

The constant of proportionality is 1/3.
