Water is steadily dripping from a faucet into a bowl. You want to write an equation that represents the number of milliliters y of water in the bowl after . What is the constant of proportionality for the relationship between the number of milliliters y of water in the bowl and the time in seconds x? What is the equation? Water from Dripping Faucet Time in Seconds (x) Milliliters in Bowl (y) 20 320 35 560 45 720 60 960

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

y is proportional to x when it satisfies the equation ...

  y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality. The equation can be solved for k by dividing by x:

  k = y/x

The value of k for the given relation is ...

  k = (320 mL)/(20 s)

  k = 16 mL/s . . . the constant of proportionality

Then the equation is ...

  y = 16x

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
