Given data:
The 17 maths problem finish by Laney in 51 minutes.
The 6 maths problem finish by Hayden in 18 minutes.
The time taken by Laney to finish 1 problem is,
17 prob=51 minutes
1 prob=3 minute.
Simmiarly, the time taken by Hayden to finish 1 problem is,
6 prob=18 minutes
1 prob=3 minute.
As, the time taken by the Laney and Hayden to solve one problem is same .
Thus, the given relationship is proportional one.
