Yes, they are proportional because if you increase or decrease either amount they will both change. They will always have the same size. For example if I want to double the flour, I will have to double the milk as well because they have the same ratio. 

Answer:

Yes, there is a proportional relation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Ounces of flour for 8 ounces of milk = 15,

So, the ounces for 1 ounces of milk = [tex]\frac{15}{8}[/tex]

Let y be the ounces of flour for x ounces of milk,

∵ The ounces for x ounces of milk = [tex]\frac{15}{8}x[/tex]

[tex]\implies y = \frac{15}{8}x-----(1)[/tex]

Which is the required relation,

Since,

[tex]0=\frac{15}{8}(0)[/tex] ( True )

I.e. line [tex]y=\frac{15}{8}x[/tex] passes through the origin,

Hence, the relationship (1) is proportional.
