To determine the constant of proportionality, we need to find the ratio of the hours worked to the money earned.
In this case, Lucy worked for 4 hours and earned $25. So, the ratio of hours to dollars is 4:25.
To find the constant of proportionality, we divide the hours by the money earned:
4 hours / $25 = 0.16 hours per dollar
Therefore, the constant of proportionality for hours worked per dollar earned is 0.16 hours per dollar.
