To find the constant of proportionality, we need to divide the number of pages by the time taken for each person.
For Jimmy, the constant of proportionality would be 15 pages / 5 minutes = 3 pages/minute.
For Carlo, the constant of proportionality would be 12 pages / 6 minutes = 2 pages/minute.
To compare the proportional relationships between Jimmy and Carlo, we can say that Jimmy reads 3 pages per minute while Carlo reads 2 pages per minute. This means Jimmy reads at a faster rate than Carlo.
