Answer:

57.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality is "k" in the equation ...

y = kx

It can be found from values of x and y using ...

k = y/x

For the given values, it is ...

k = (287.5 mi)/(5 h) = 57.5 mi/h

The constant of proportionality relating miles to hours is 57.5.
