Answer:

No, this is not proportional.

Explanation:

This is simple to solve. Choose a pair from the table, like 10 and 9.9, and divide the pounds by the price. For this, I got 1.01. We have to do the same for another one. I chose 4 and 3.96, and got 1.11. Since these are different, this is not proportional.

*If it was the same, try doing this with all of the pairs just to make sure it is proportional

Hope I helped!!!
