Answer:

The first yes, the second no.

Explanation:

Proportional means they follow a constant proportion. In the first example, 1 hr is 4.5 ft, so the constant is 4.5, which means that everything in the top line multiplied by 4.5 should equal the bottom line. 2*4.5=9, 3*4.5=13.5, if you check it it all works out. But on the second problem, 2 hrs is 20 ft, which means that the constant should be 10, because 2/2 is 1 and 20/2 is 10, but 4*10 does not equal 30, it equals 40, so right off the bat we know it’s not proportional.
