Answer:

Emma spend 8 hours in homework in a week and Jared spends 16 hours in homework in 2 weeks.

Explanation:

Two quantities P and Q are said to be in PROPORTION if and only if for all values of P and q, we get:


(P)/(Q) = k

Here, k : PROPORTIONALITY CONSTANT

Case: 1

5 hour piano practice in 1 week.

So, the piano practice in 2 weeks( 1 x 2) = 2 x 5 = 10 hours

But here, it is given to be 12 hours in 2 weeks.

Hence, NOT PROPORTIONAL.

Case 2:

70 words in 60 seconds.

So, the words typed in 210 seconds ( 60 x 3.5) = 70 x 3.5 = 240 words

But here, it is given to be 280 words in 210 seconds.

Hence, NOT PROPORTIONAL.

Case: 3

8 hour homework in 1 week.

So, the homework done in 2 weeks( 1 x 2) = 2 x 8 = 16 hours

It is given to be 16 hours in 2 weeks.

Hence, PROPORTIONAL.

Case: 4

15 miles in 78 minutes.

So, the distance covered in 102 minutes (78 x 1.3) = 15 x 1.3 = 19.6 miles

But here, it is given to be 17 miles in 102 minutes.

Hence, NOT PROPORTIONAL.

Case: 5

18 miles in 45 minutes.

So, the distance covered in 55 minutes (45 x 1.2) = 18 x 1.2 = 21.6 miles

But here, it is given to be 22 miles in 55 minutes.

Hence, NOT PROPORTIONAL.

Hence, the only proportional case is Emma spend 8 hours in homework in a week and Jared spends 16 hours in homework in 2 weeks.
