Answer:
The constant of proportionality is 1.5 and the value of q is 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume Hours as 'x' and Miles walked = 'y'
Constant of proportionality means the same value of [tex]$ \frac{y}{x} $[/tex] is maintained throughout.
So, note that [tex]$ \frac{3}{2} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{12}{8} $[/tex] = 1.5
This means that [tex]$ \frac{q}{6} $[/tex] should also equal 1.5.
[tex]$ \implies \frac{q}{6} = 1.5 $[/tex]
[tex]$ \implies q = 1.5 \times 6 $[/tex] = 9.
Therefore, the value of 'q' is 9.
