Answer:

Your age is not proportional to your cousin's age.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are 13 y/o and your cousin is 19 y/o, the ratio is:

13

---

19

After, for example, four years, the calculus would be:

13+4= 17

-----

19+4= 23

This equals: 13/17≠19/23. Therefore, it's not proportional.
