Answer:

d = 48 h

Explanation:

Lamar's distance traveled is directly proportional to the number of hours be drove.

So distance (d) ∝ hours (h)

Lamar traveled 288 miles in 6 hours

Since d ∝ h

then d = kh [ where k is the proportionality constant ]

if 288 = k × 6

k = =288/48

Therefore, equation will be d = 48 h will be the equation
