Answer:

as ratio of two type of fabric is different .

hence, the relationship between the number of square yards and the cost

is not proportional between the two types of fabric

Explanation:

For a relation to be proportional

a:b = c:d

in other form

a/b = c/d

______________________________________________

Ratio for first type of fabric

cost of fabric/ area of fabric = 31.25/5 = 6.25

Ratio for other type of fabric

cost of fabric/ area of fabric = 71.50/11 = 6.5

as ratio of two type of fabric is different .

hence, the relationship between the number of square yards and the cost

is not proportional between the two types of fabric
