A fruit punch uses 1.5 cups of orange juice for every cup of apple juice.
What is the constant of proportionality used to find the number of cups of orange juice needed for any amount of apple juice?
Answer (2)
Proportionality constant can be defined as ratio, so its fraction. To the numerator we can put 1.5 (orange) and to the denominator we can put 1 (apple). Then we will obtain proportionality constant. We have to simplify it finally. reminder. 1.5=+ 2 3 1 2 3 = 2 3 - its the result
The constant of proportionality for the fruit punch recipe is 1.5, meaning for every cup of apple juice, 1.5 cups of orange juice are needed. This can also be expressed as 2 3 . To find the amount of orange juice for any given apple juice, multiply the number of cups of apple juice by 1.5.
