A constant is a number that does not change. It could be a regular number like "3" or it could be a symbol like "pi". If you were trying to find the circumference of a circle for instance, (C=2*pi*r) pi and 2 would both be a constant and r would be a variable (the equation is still true if you had a differently sized circle).

Is a number that stands by itself in an equation?
It is called a constant.
What is rational constant?
It is a fixed number, in an equation, for example, that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers.
How can you identify a unit rate or constant of proportionality in a table In a graph In an equation?
In a table, divide a number in one column by the corresponding number in the other column. In a graph it is the gradient of the line. The equation, for the variables X and Y will be of the form Y = mX and the constant of proportionality is m.
How do you find constant of proportionality using equation?
If the equation is y = kx then the constant of proportionality is k.
Can a constant in a math equation be a fraction?
Yes.
