I can only half answer this question, as it doesn't tell what form of distance is used

the equation is ...

d=15g

Now lets solve for 1 gallon of gas

d=15g

d=15 (1)

d=15

This means that for every 1 gallon of gas, 15 (insert missing unit of distance here) can be driven.

15/1=15

Answer:The constant of proportionality is 15.
