Answer:
16.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Constant of proportionality = no of gallons of water per 1 minute.
In the first row, we have 16.50 gallons of water per 1 minute.
In the 2nd row, we have 24.75 gallons of water in 1.5 minutes. In 1 minute, we will have 24.75 ÷ 1.5 = 16.50 gallons
In the 3rd row, we have 33 gallons in 2 minutes. In 1 minute, we will have 33 ÷ 2 = 16.50 gallons.
We can see that there seems to be the same constant of proportionality for the 2nd and 3rd row, which is 16.50.
Thus, a relationship between gallons of water (w) and time (t), considering the constant, 16.50, can be written as: [tex] w = 16.50t [/tex]
This means the constant of proportionality, 16.50, is same for all rows.
