Proportional Relationships and Unit Rates

This video tutorial covers the concept of proportional relationships, focusing on equations and graphs involving fractions. It uses a race scenario to explain how to create a table and graph to represent distance over time. The lesson also includes a cooking example to demonstrate unit rate and cost calculations. The video concludes with a summary of key points about proportional relationships and their graphical representation.

How is the constant of proportionality (K) calculated in the race example?

• By multiplying distance by time

• By adding distance and time

• By dividing time by distance
