No, the ratios are not in a proportional relationship.

To determine if quantities are in a proportional relationship, we need to compare the ratios of the quantities. In this case, the ratio of 1 hour to $9 is 1:9, and the ratio of 2 hours to $18 is 2:18, which simplifies to 1:9 as well. However, the ratio of 3 hours to $27 is 3:27, which simplifies to 1:9 also.

Since all the ratios are equivalent, the quantities are in a proportional relationship.
whats the answer
