    Yes.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The relation would be 3 = k*9 as there is a direct proportional relationship.

    So k = 3/9 = 1/3 and we can write the relation as d = 1/3 t where d=distance and t = time.

    So if we double the time t we have:-

    d = 1/3 * 18

    = 6 kilometers.

    So the distance is doubled.
