Answer:
Constant of proportionality is 190.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find proportionality constant we will find difference of weights after 2 days and at birth.
[tex]5710-5520=190[/tex]
Now we will find difference of weights after 14 days and at birth. We will divide the difference by 14.
[tex]\frac{8180-5520}{14}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2660}{14}=190[/tex]
We can see that weights are increasing at a constant rate of 190 pounds per day. Therefore, our constant of proportionality is 190.
Answer:
The constant of proportionality is 190.
Step-by-step explanation:
A baby blue whale weighed 5520 pounds at birth.
After two days, the baby weighed 5710.
Means the weight gain is : [tex]5710-5520=190[/tex] pounds
After 14 days, the baby weighed 8180 pounds.
Weight gain = [tex]8180-5520=2660[/tex] pounds
So, per day gain = [tex]\frac{2660}{14}= 190[/tex] pounds
Hence, the constant of proportionality is 190.
