Answer: Option 'd' is correct.

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 =
(Distance\ traveled)/(Gallon\ of\ gas)=(d)/(g)

Since we have


d=15g\\\\(d)/(g)=(1)/(15)=Constant\ of\ proportionality

Hence, Option 'd' is correct.
