Answer:
Constant of proportionality should be 48.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a small pie factory needs to ship 360 pies a day to stay profitable. 180 pies are baked every 3 hours. Of the baked pies, 20% go directly to freezer storage and 80% are loaded on a truck for delivery.
Now we need to find about what is the constant of proportionality for the number of pies baked and loaded on a truck for delivery.
Number of baked pies = 180
Number of pies loaded on truck for delivery = 80% of baked pies
= 0.80(180)= 144 in 3 hours.
So number of pies loaded per hour = 144/3= 48
Hence constant of proportionality should be 48.
