As for this problem, it would be best to approach this with a ratio to ratio approach. This would then involve the equation with fractions which is the common conversion from ratios to easily solve the problems concerning these. The equation then would look somehow like this:
0.01 miles / 1 hour = x miles / 2.4 hours
The easiest way would be just to multiply the numerator, which is the miles, to 2.4. So when it is multiplied to the numerator, the equation then would turn to:
0.01 miles x 2.4 / 1 hour = x miles / 2.4 hours
0.024 miles would be the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:
They will each equal 1.5 pounds also known as 1 1/2 or 3/2.
Answer:
The constant of proportionality is option D i.e 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Variation:
Variation problems involve fairly simple relationships or formulas, involving one variable being equal to one term. There are two types of variation i.e.
- Direct variation
- Inverse variation
Direct Variation:
Mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other.
Example 
where, k is constant of proportionality.
The above given example is of Direct Variation
∴ y = 5 x
∴ k = 5 = constant of proportionality.
Inverse Variation:
Mathematical relationship between two variables which can be expressed by an equation in which the product of two variables is equal to a constant.
Example 
where, k is constant of proportionality.
