You travel 275 miles in 5.5 hours. if you drive at a constant speed the distance you drive varies directly with the time spent driving.

a. What is the constant of variable

Step 1. Let distance = speed * time or speed = distance/time = 275/5.5 = 50

Step 2. ANSWER: The constant speed is 50 miles per hour.

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
