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

The given data is:

| Time (min) | Water Used (gal) | |------------|------------------| | 1 | 5 | | 2 | 10 | | 3 | 15 | | 7 | 35 | | 10 | 50 |

Now, let's calculate the ratios of water used to time for each pair:

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

Since all the ratios are equal to 5, the quantities are indeed in a proportional relationship.

Thus, the correct response is:

Yes, the data table has a proportional relationship.
