No, because the ratios of dollars to weeks are not equivalent.
No, because the ratios of dollars to weeks are not equivalent.
To determine if the pay rates are proportional, we need to compare the ratios of dollars to weeks worked for both workers.
For the first worker, the ratio of dollars to weeks worked is 85/2 = 42.5.
For the second worker, the ratio of dollars to weeks worked is 175/4 = 43.75.
Since the ratios are not equal, the pay rates are not proportional.
Therefore, the correct answer is: No, because the ratios of dollars to weeks are not equivalent.
