Question

An albatross is a large bird that can fly 400 kilometers in 8 hours at a constant speed. Using d for distance
in kilometers and t for number of hours, an equation that represents this situation is d = 50t.
1.
What are two constants of proportionality for the relationship between distance in kilometers and
number of hours? What is the relationship between these two values?​

Answer 1

Given : An albatross is a large bird that can fly 400 kilometers in 8 hours at a constant speed. Using d for distance

in kilometers and t for number of hours, an equation that represents this situation is d = 50t.

To Find :  constants of proportionality  

Variable

Solution:

bird  can fly 400 kilometers in 8 hours at

Distance = 400 km

Time = 8 hours

Speed = Distance / Time

= 400/8

= 50 km//hr

d  = 50t

t independent variable

d = dependent variable

d ∝ t

d = kt   k is constant of proportionality

d = 50t

=>k = 50

50 is constant of proportionality
