Explanation:

Step1: Calculate ratio for first pair

$\frac{20}{2}=10$

Step2: Calculate ratio for second pair

$\frac{40}{4}=10$

Step3: Calculate ratio for third pair

$\frac{60}{6}=10$

Step4: Calculate ratio for fourth pair

$\frac{80}{8}=10$

Step5: Compare all ratios

All ratios equal 10, constant.

Answer:

The paired values in the table represent a proportional relationship, because the ratio of money earned to hours worked is constant (equal to 10).
