Is there more @Study312 ?

study312 · Answer

Number of packs/ number of ounces

2                       / 34
 3                     / 51
4                     / 68

study312 · Answer

that's to look at it better

study312 · Answer

so why do I subtract 34 from 51?

mehek14 · Answer

constant of proportionality = slope

mehek14 · Answer

so when you use the slope formula,
$\dfrac{51-34}{3-2}$

study312 · Answer

so 51 - 34  = 17 

3 - 2 = 1

17/1

mehek14 · Answer

so the constant of proportionality is 17
