Answer:
if the ratio allowance/chores is constant, it is proportional
Step-by-step explanation:
The values x and y are directly proportional if they satisfy the equation ...
y = kx
for some constant k, the constant of proportionality.
__
If the relation that produces ordered pairs (chores, allowance) is directly proportional, all of the ratios (allowance)/(chores) will have the same value: the constant of proportionality (k).
If the ratios are not constant, Carlos's allowance is not directly proportional to the number of chores he completes.
