Question

Jesse drives to work. The distance Jesse’s car travels (d) on a number of gallons of gas (g) is given by the equation d = 15g.

Answer 1

Answer: Option 'd' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance traveled by Jesse's car = d

Number of gallons used = g

The relation between distance and number of gallons used is given by

$d=15g$

We need to find the constant of proportionality in terms of distance traveled per gallon of gas.

So, Constant of proportionality = $\dfrac{Distance\ traveled}{Gallon\ of\ gas}=\dfrac{d}{g}$

Since we have

$d=15g\\\\\dfrac{d}{g}=\dfrac{1}{15}=Constant\ of\ proportionality$

Hence, Option 'd' is correct.

Answer 2

Jesse drives to work. The distance Jesse’s car travels (d) on a number of gallons of gas (g) is given by the equation d = 15g. The constant of proportionality in terms of distance traveled per gallon of gas is 1/15. The answer is letter D
