.75
=
1
.25
(
3
)
4
.6875
=

.25
(
3
.75
)

What is the constant of proportionality of the relationship represented in these equations?

A.
1.25

B.
3

C.
3.75

D.
4.6875

Answer 1

The constant of proportionality is the ratio between the two variables in a proportional relationship. To find the constant of proportionality, we can divide one value by the other.

For the first equation:
(3) / (0.75) = 4

For the second equation:
(3.75) / (1.25) = 3

Since both equations have a different constant of proportionality, we cannot determine a single constant of proportionality for the relationship represented in these equations.

Therefore, the correct answer is not provided.
