Answer:

The answer would be yes and no!! But, it would be no!

Step-by-step Explanation:

Yes: On Monday and Tuesday, those would be proportional because they are just counting by 60´s. 60 plus 60 would give you 120.

No: On Wednesday, this ¨person¨ traveled 360 miles in 3 hours. Now, you aren´t counting by 60´s anymore. Even though you started out counting by the 60´s, doesn´t mean you will finish like that.

60´s:

1 hour = 60 mi

2 hours = 120 mi

3 hours should be = 180 miles, not 360 Because:

360 mi would be equal to 6 hours. Do you see where I´m going with this?

Hope that helps you so you can put it in a mathematical way. Have a great day!!

If you get it wrong, plz notify me any way possible...... :)

Answer:

It's not proportional

Explanation:

The first 2 days are proportional because, they travel at an increment of 60 miles an hour.

But, on the third day, it is not proportional because they travel at an increment of 90 miles an hour.

360 / 4 = 90

120 / 2 = 60

60 / 1 = 60
