Bethany uses the equation d = 4.25h to find the distance, d, she travels while walking for h number of hours. What is the constant of proportionality between d and h?

4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance Bethany travels is directly proportional to the number of hours she spends working

The formula for direct proportion is :

y = kx

Where k is a constant

in this question, the constant is given by 4.25

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
