you're going to get to find Kay Well we just
- 00:44
multiply and be together ninety times Three is to seventy
- 00:47
which is kay Well the constant of proportionality is to
- 00:50
seventy that's it also it's true we just like saying
- 00:53
constant of proportionality Politicians should say that well thirty a
- 00:58
would be the correct answer is a very directly as
- 01:01
be but in that case and b would be related
- 01:03
by the equation A equals a times b instead of
- 01:06
a b equals cake so that's it it's sea to
