Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 0.45.

Explanation:

The constant of proportionality is the ration of two different quantities or is the unit value of a quantity.

The expression representing the price of bananas is:

p=0.45n

To determine the unit rate of bananas divide the price by the number of bananas.

$\text{Unit Rate}=(p)/(n)$

$=(0.45n)/(n)\\\\=0.45$

Thus, the constant of proportionality is 0.45.
