The weight of 3 eggs is 120g. assuming the three eggs are all the same weight find the constant of proportionality

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is a case of direct proportionality. That is:

Where:

- Net weight, in gram.

- Number of eggs, dimensionless.

If 3 eggs have a net weight of 120 gram and each egg has the same mass, then, the constant of proportionality is .

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
