Arecipe calls for 3 ounces of flour for every 2 ounces of sugar. find the constant of proportionality

The constant of proportionality of the given is 2/3

Given:

let

y = ounces of sugar

x = ounces of flour

k = constant of proportionality

Direct variation:

y = k × x

y = kx

k = y/x

Recall,

y = ounces of sugar

y = ounces of sugarx = ounces of flour

So,

y = 2

x = 3

Therefore, k = y/x

k = 2/3.

The constant of proportionality of the given equation is 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are gonna call ''K'' the constant of proportionality:

So,

constant acceleration- a

constant velocity- c

no velocity or acceleration- b

explanation:

for body moving with a constant acceleration, the rate of change of displacement changes over time. this is proven by the increasing gradient of the curve (a) against time.

a body that is moving at constant velocity covers equal distances over equal periods of time, thus the straight line with a constant gradient c.

a stationary body   covers no displacement as time elapses. thus the flat line with   zero gradient.
