Sagot :

Answer:

If... 6.4 inches : 16 dollars

Then... 32 inches = 80 dollars.  

And, 1 inch of track = 80/32 dollars.

80/32 = 2.5.

So, the answer is: 1 inch of track costs 2.5 dollars.

The  constant of proportionality is $2,50.

The equation used to represent direct proportionality is: y = kx

Where:

y = dependent variable

x = independent variable

k = constant of proportionality

Here, the dependent variable is the cost of the track. The independent variable is the length of the tracks.

$16 = 6.4k

k = 16 / 6.4 = $2.5
