2. Shilo is riding her bicycle across the state of Georgia to raise money for her favorite charity. The distance
in miles that she can travel varies directly with the length of time in hours she spends riding. Assume that
her constant of proportionality is 18. What does the constant of proportionality represent in this problem?

help me

Respuesta :

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance in miles be d and the time taken = t hours.

Then the direct proportion is d = kt  where k is some constant.

In this case k = d/t = 18.

d = 18t is the equation relating  distance and time.

In this case the 18 represents Milo's speed in  miles per hour.
