Picture a construction scene with a visibly diverse group of workers. These workers, of different genders and descents like Hispanic, Black, Middle-Eastern, South Asian, and so on -- are busily engaged in various aspects of a road project. In the foreground, individuals are operating machinery, while in the background, others consult blueprints and supervise the work. A sign shows the number 7, subtly indicating the constant time required for project completion. The sun is high in the sky, indicating the passage of weeks. The scene is intensified by the workers' vividly colored hard hats and high-visibility vests and the dust being kicked up by their industrious work.

The equation y=7x gives the relationship between the number of road projects, x, and the number of weeks it takes a crew of workers to complete all the projects, y. What is the constant of proportionality? What does it mean in this context?(1 point) Responses The constant of proportionality is 7. It takes the crew of workers 7 weeks to complete 1 road project. The constant of proportionality is 7. It takes the crew of workers 7 weeks to complete 1 road project. The constant of proportionality is 7. It takes the crew of workers 7 days to complete 1 road project. The constant of proportionality is 7. It takes the crew of workers 7 days to complete 1 road project. The constant of proportionality is 7. It takes the crew of workers 7 weeks to complete all of their road projects. The constant of proportionality is 7. It takes the crew of workers 7 weeks to complete all of their road projects. The constant of proportionality is 7. It takes the crew of workers 7 days to complete all of their road projects.

The constant of proportionality is 7. It takes the crew of workers 7 weeks to complete 1 road project.

The correct answer is: The constant of proportionality is 7. It means that for each additional road project, it will take the crew of workers 7 weeks to complete it.

The constant of proportionality in this context is 7. This means that for every increase of 1 in the number of road projects (x), the number of weeks it takes the crew of workers to complete all the projects (y) will increase by 7. In other words, it takes the crew of workers 7 weeks to complete 1 road project.
