Answer:
The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities. Two quantities are directly proportional when they increase and decrease at the same rate. The constant of proportionality k is given by k=y/x where y and x are two quantities that are directly proportional to each other.
You make 2 2/7 an improper fraction (16/7) and then you subtract 8/7 from 16/7 and you get 1 1/7 (or 8/7) as your final answer
