It takes Julian 1/2 hour to walk 2 miles. He decides to start walking in his spare time, but because he wants to make sure he has enough time to go a desired distance he created the data table. At which ratio does the constant of proportionality appear?

Based on the given information, Julian takes 1/2 hour to walk 2 miles. We can calculate the ratio of time to distance by dividing the time by the distance:

1/2 hour / 2 miles = 1/4 hour per mile

Therefore, the constant of proportionality in this case is 1/4 (or 0.25) which represents the ratio of time to distance.
