Given:

16 emails to 6 text messages- 10 emails to 4 text messages

To find:

Whether 16 emails to 6 text messages- 10 emails to 4 text messages proportional or not.

Solution:

Check the ratio of emails to text. If the ratios are equal then the relation is proportional.

16 emails to 6 text messages.

(Emails)/(Text)=(16)/(6)

(Emails)/(Text)=(8)/(3)

(Emails)/(Text)=8:3

10 emails to 4 text messages.

(Emails)/(Text)=(10)/(4)

(Emails)/(Text)=(5)/(2)

(Emails)/(Text)=5:2

Since
$(8)/(3)\\eq (5)/(2)$ or
$8:3\\eq 5:2$ , therefore, it is not proportional.
