    3/35

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here, we want to know the constant of proportionality in this direct variation scenario

    Since it is a direct variation, the form we are having would be;

    x = ky

    where x and y directly vary with each other and k is the constant of proportionality

    Now, for the first relation

    3 = 35k

    for the second

    9 = 105k

    Thus k would be

    3/35 which is the same as 9/105

    Kindly note that 9/105 can be reduced to 3/35

    So linking the number of weeks to the number of stamps collected, the constant of proportionality is 3/35
