Question

The distance (d) in meters that an ant can travel varies directly with the amount of time (t) in hours it spends walking. assume that an ants constant off proportionality is 18.write the equation to the represent the proportional relationship between d and t using the information given. What does the constant of proportionality represent in this problem?

Answer 1

The constant is 18

To find distance (d) you would multiply the constant by the time(t).

D = 18t

Distance is speed x time, so the given constant would be the speed of the ant.
