To determine if the quantities in the table (Hours Biked and Miles Traveled) have a proportional relationship, we need to check if the ratios of miles traveled to hours biked are constant.

Let's calculate the ratio for each entry in the table:

  1. For 1 hour: \( \frac{12 \text{ miles}}{1 \text{ hour}} = 12 \)
  2. For 2 hours: \( \frac{26 \text{ miles}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 13 \)
  3. For 3 hours: \( \frac{30 \text{ miles}}{3 \text{ hours}} = 10 \)
  4. For 4 hours: \( \frac{48 \text{ miles}}{4 \text{ hours}} = 12 \)

Now let's look at the ratios:

  • 1 hour: 12
  • 2 hours: 13
  • 3 hours: 10
  • 4 hours: 12

Since the ratios are not all the same, the data table does not represent a proportional relationship.

The correct response is: No, not all of the ratios are proportional or have equivalence.
