Answer:

Yes, the scores are proportional.

Explanation:

If you convert the numbers given into fractions and then simplify, they are equal.

You: 15 points in 3 minutes = 15/3

Cousin: 25 points in 5 minutes = 25/5

15 divided by 3 = 5

25 divided by 5 = 5

5 = 5

Answer:

Yes they are proportional.

Explanation:

You would have scored 5 points for every minute because 15/3=5.

Your cousin scored 5 points for every minute because 25/5=5.

Divide the number of points by the total time.
