In this activity, you will use equations to represent this proportional relationship: Olivia is making bead bracelets for her friends. She can make 3 bracelets in 15 minutes. Part A
Find the constant of proportionality in terms of minutes per bracelet.

Part B
What does the proportionality constant represent in this situation?

Part C
Write an equation to represent the proportional relationship. Use the constant of proportionality you found in part A. Be sure to assign a variable for each quantity.

Part D
Now find the constant of proportionality in terms of number of bracelets per minute.

Part E
What does the proportionality constant represent in this situation?

Part F
Write an equation to represent the proportional relationship. Use the constant of proportionality you found in part D. Be sure to assign a variable for each quantity.

Part G
How are the constants of proportionality you found in parts A and D related?

Part H
Are the two equations you developed in parts C and F equivalent? Explain.
