Answer 1

In the direct variation equation \( y = 223x \), the constant of proportionality is the coefficient of \( x \).

In this case, the constant of proportionality is **223**.

Answer 2

just know the 223 in the question is 2 2/3

Answer 3

Thank you for the clarification! If the direct variation equation is expressed as \( y = \frac{8}{3}x \) (which can be simplified to \( y = 2 \frac{2}{3} x \)), then the constant of proportionality would be \( 2 \frac{2}{3} \) or as an improper fraction, \( \frac{8}{3} \).

So, given the revised context with 223 denoting \( 2 \frac{2}{3} \), the constant of proportionality is:

**\( 2 \frac{2}{3} \) or \( \frac{8}{3} \)**.
