Question

1. find the c.o.p. of this table:

hours	miles
2	26
3	36
4	52

Explanation:

Step1: Recall COP formula

COP (Constant of Proportionality) is $\frac{\text{Miles}}{\text{Hours}}$ for proportional relationships.

Step2: Calculate using first row

For 1 hour and 13 miles, COP = $\frac{13}{1}$ = 13.

Step3: Verify with second row

For 2 hours and 26 miles, COP = $\frac{26}{2}$ = 13.

Step4: Verify with third row

For 3 hours and 36 miles, $\frac{36}{3}$ = 12 (Wait, this is inconsistent? Wait, original table: 3 hours should be 39? Maybe a typo. But using first two, COP is 13. Fourth row: $\frac{52}{4}$ = 13. So maybe 36 is a typo, but using valid rows (1,2,4), COP is 13.

Answer:

13
