Vince works for 4 hours. He gets paid £24. Vince works for 8 hours. He gets paid £50. Is Vince's pay directly proportional to the time he works?

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Find the rate and compare.

4 hrs = £24

8 hrs = £50

24 ÷ 4 = £6 per hour

50 ÷ 8 = £6.25 per hour

As you can see, the rate is not the same, so Vince's pay is not proportional at all.
