Answer:

Proportional

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

We have a question to answer

given that the speed is 6 mph and the time taken is 3 hours

v= 6mph, t= 3, distance =?

distance= speed * time

distance= 6*3= 18miles

From the distance calculated, we can see that there exist a proportional relationship, lets say the time taken is 4 hours, then the distance will be

distance= 6*4= 24 miles.

hence the distance traveled is proportional to the time taken
