Answer:

No

Explanation:

Write the ratios of erasers to cost (dropping the dollar sign) as fractions:

(number of erasers)/(price): 2/1 and 10/4

The question is if the ratios 2/1 and 10/4 are equivalent.

2/1 = 2

10/4 = 2.5

A proportion is setting two ratios equal. Here, one ratio equals 2, and one ratio equals 2.5.

Since the ratios are not equivalent, the relation is not proportional.
