The ratio of hours to miles in the data table is consistent. This means that the constant of proportionality appears in the ratio of hours to miles. Looking at the data table, we can see that the constant of proportionality is 1/2 (since it always takes Julian 1/2 hour to walk 2 miles).
To express this ratio, we can write it as 1/2:2 or simplify it to 1:4.
Therefore, the answer is (D) 4:1.
Hours. Miles
1/4. 1
1/2. 2
3/4. 3
1. 4
