Duke wants to hire someone to re-tile his bathroom. The research he found for three local tilers is presented in the table below. He
was able to find the average area of their tiling jobs and the time it took the tilers to complete the job.

Calculate the unit rate for each tiler above to determine if proportional relationships exist.
The rates at which Toni's Tiles and Bob's Bathrooms tile are
to one another.
The rates at which Toni's Tiles and Rhonda's Restroom Redos tile are
to one another.
The rates at which Bob's Bathrooms and Rhonda's Restroom Redos tile are
to one another.
Two items are in a proportional relationship if they
the same unit rate.
