A recipe says to use 3.5 cups of flour to make 48 cookies. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the number of cookies made, y, to the number of cups of flour used, x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer: 0.07 cups/cookie

Explanation:

The Constant of proportionality is the measure by which the number of cookies made, y increases to the number of cups of flour used, x.

= 3.5/48

= 0.07 cups/cookie
