Jesse drives to work. The distance Jesse’s car travels (d) on a number of gallons of gas (g) is given by the equation d = 15g.



The constant of proportionality in terms of distance traveled per gallon of gas is

a. 15
b. 5
c. 1
d. 1/15

Respuesta :

Answer: Option 'd' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance traveled by Jesse's car = d

Number of gallons used = g

The relation between distance and number of gallons used is given by

[tex]d=15g[/tex]

We need to find the constant of proportionality in terms of distance traveled per gallon of gas.

So, Constant of proportionality = [tex]\dfrac{Distance\ traveled}{Gallon\ of\ gas}=\dfrac{d}{g}[/tex]

Since we have

[tex]d=15g\\\\\dfrac{d}{g}=\dfrac{1}{15}=Constant\ of\ proportionality[/tex]

Hence, Option 'd' is correct.
