Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 5 minutes per bracelet

Step-by-step explanation:

If x and y are proportion, then y = k x, where

  • k is the constant of proportionality
  • We can find k by dividing y by x ⇒ k = [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

Let us solve our question

∵ Olivia is making bead bracelets for her friends

∵ She can make 3 bracelets in 15 minutes

We need to find the constant of proportionality in terms of minutes per bracelet, which means y represents the minutes and x represents the bracelet

∴ y = the time in minutes

∴ x = the number of bracelets

∵ y proportion with x

∴ k = [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

y = 15 and x = 3

∴ k = [tex]\frac{15}{3}[/tex]

∴ k = 5

The constant of proportionality is 5 minutes per bracelet
