QuestionA baker iced 40 cupcakes in 70 minutes and 28 cupcakes in 49 minutes. Find the constant of proportionality.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the constant of proportionality.
$$Constant\, of\, proportionality = \frac{28\, cupcakes}{49\, minutes} =0.57\, cupcakes/minute$$The constant of proportionality is the same for both sets of data, which confirms that the bakerices cupcakes at a constant rate. The constant of proportionality is0.57 cupcakes per minute.
