Respuesta :

Answer:

k = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a proportional relationship between the amount of time in shelling peas 'x' and the weight of the peas 'y'.

Therefore, y ∝ x

⇒ y = kx

Here, k = proportionality constant

From the given table,

If family spends the time 2 minutes (x-value) in shelling 1 pound of peas (y-value),

1 = k × 2

k = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

k = 0.5

Therefore, proportionality constant for the relationship is 0.5.
