Question

One worker earns in 2 weeks, and another earns in 4 weeks. Are the pay rates
proportional? (1 point)
$85 $175
No, because the ratios of dollars to weeks are not equivalent.
No, because the ratios of weeks to dollars cannot be reduced.
Yes, because the ratios of weeks to dollars are equivalent.
Yes, because the ratios of dollars to weeks worked are equivalent.

Answer 1

No — because the ratios of dollars to weeks are not equivalent.

85/2 = $42.50 per week, while 175/4 = $43.75 per week (or 85·4 = 340 ≠ 175·2 = 350), so the rates are not proportional.
