Answer:

  • No

Explanation:

If we assume there is such a proportion, then we have the proportion:

  • m(x) = kx, where m is amount the person eats, k is coefficient of proportion, x is age of the person

For 5 year old we have:

  • m(5) = 5k

For 20 year old:

  • m(20) = 20k

For 60 year old:

  • m(60) = 60k

In reality this proportion doesn't make sense as 60 year old normally eats less than 20 year old.
