GPT 3.5
To find the constant of proportionality, we need to find the ratio of the amount paid to the number of hours.
For the first scenario, the ratio is $87 / 12 hours = $7.25/hour.
For the second scenario, the ratio is $65.25 / 9 hours = $7.25/hour.
Since the ratio is the same in both scenarios, the constant of proportionality that describes this relationship is $7.25/hour.
For the first scenario, the ratio is $87 / 12 hours = $7.25/hour.
For the second scenario, the ratio is $65.25 / 9 hours = $7.25/hour.
Since the ratio is the same in both scenarios, the constant of proportionality that describes this relationship is $7.25/hour.
