Jeremy earns 234 for 36 hours of work manual earns 288 for 40 hours of work are the pay rates of these two people proportional explain?

To determine if Jeremy's and Manual's pay rates are proportional, we need to calculate their hourly wages. Jeremy's pay rate is ( \frac{234}{36} = 6.50 ) per hour, while Manual's pay rate is ( \frac{288}{40} = 7.20 ) per hour. Since their pay rates are different, they are not proportional.
