The constant of proportionality of 100 cm in 1 meter is 0.01
How to determine the constant of proportionality?
The statement is given as:
100 cm in 1 meter
Rewrite as:
x cm in y m
Express as ratio
100 : 1 = x : y
Express as fraction
100/1 = x/y
Divide
100 = x/y
Make y the subject
y = x/100
Divide
y = 0.01x
A direct proportion is represented as y = kx
Where k represents the constant of proportionality.
So, we have:
k = 0.01
Hence, the constant of proportionality is 0.01
