Which is the constant of proportionality for the data in the table?
A
18
B
2
C
6
D
12

Answer:
C) 6
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given data we can find the constant of proportionality by dividing The number of people by number of cars.
Constant of proportionality = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Number of people}}{\textrm{Number of cars}}[/tex]
Taking any point from the table will give the same constant of proportionality as they are proportional quantities.
Constant of proportionality = [tex]\frac{18}{3}=\frac{30}{5}=\frac{36}{6}=\frac{48}{8}=6[/tex]
This can be written as 6 people per car.
For 10 cars, number of people will be =[tex]10\times 6[/tex]=60 people.
