The number of widgets that a manufacturing plant can produce varies jointly as the number of workers and the time that they have worked. 1) Find the constant of proportionality, k, to 2 decimal places if 745 workers work 15 hours and can produce 121472.25 widgets. k = 2) How many widgets (to the nearest tenth) can be produced by 765 workers in 31 hours? Widgets =
