To determine if the quantities in the data table are in a proportional relationship, we need to check if the ratios of water used to time are constant.

We can find the ratios:

- For 1 min: \( \frac{5 \text{ gal}}{1 \text{ min}} = 5 \)
- For 2 min: \( \frac{10 \text{ gal}}{2 \text{ min}} = 5 \)
- For 3 min: \( \frac{15 \text{ gal}}{3 \text{ min}} = 5 \)
- For 7 min: \( \frac{35 \text{ gal}}{7 \text{ min}} = 5 \)
- For 10 min: \( \frac{50 \text{ gal}}{10 \text{ min}} = 5 \)

Since all these ratios equal 5, the quantities in the data table are in a proportional relationship.

The correct response is:

**Yes, the data table has a proportional relationship.**
