Raul Li · Answer 1

d = 48 h

Step-by-step 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
