Answer:

no

Explanation:

In terms of area per hour, Bob's works at the rate of ...

1460 ft²/(4 h) = 365 ft²/h

Rhonda's rate is ...

753 ft²/(1.5 h) = 502 ft²/h

The rates are different, so they are not proportional.

___

Additional comment

Toni's rate is 803 ft²/(2.2 h) = 365 ft²/h . . . the same as Bob's

Bob's and Toni's rates are proportional.
