Question

The table below shows that the number of miles driven by Abigail is directly

proportional to the number of gallons she used.
Gallons Used Miles Driven
15
517.5
33
1138.5
36
1242
What is the constant of proportionality between the
number of miles driven and the number of gallons
used?

Answer 1

Answer: 34.5

Explanation:

To find the constant of proportionality between miles driven and number of gallons used, we will divide the miles driven by the gallons used.

517.5 / 15 = 34.5

1138.5 / 33 = 34.5

1242 / 36 = 34.5
