Cayley says that the equation p=1. 5 and 2/3p =q both represent the same proportional relationship moriah says that cannot be true because the constant of proportionality are different with wich student do you agree with

Answer: I agree with Moriah. If two equations represent the same proportional relationship, then they should have the same constant of proportionality. In this case, the constant of proportionality in p = 1.5 and 2/3p = q is different, so the two equations cannot represent the same proportional relationship.

It's possible that the two equations represent two different proportional relationships, but without more information it's impossible to determine if that is the case.
