Answer 1

In order to determine if the relationship is proportional, we need to see if there is a consistent ratio between the amount of time spent walking and the number of calories burned.

Time Spent Walking (minutes) | Calories Burned
5 | 25
10 | 50
15 | 75
20 | 100

We can see that for every 5 minutes spent walking, 25 calories are burned. Similarly, for every 10 minutes spent walking, 50 calories are burned, and so on.

Since the ratio between the time spent walking and the number of calories burned is consistent (5 minutes to 25 calories), we can conclude that the relationship is proportional.
