Task 3:

What are the three ways you can prove that equivalent ratio statements are true?

3/4= 12/16 or 4/9 = 16/32

Answers:

First: You can do it Diagonally, you multiply the top left to the bottom right and the top right to the bottom left.

Second: You can do it vertically, you divide the numerator to the denominator for each ratios.

Last: You can divide the top left to the top right, then you divide the bottom left to the bottom right.

Task 5:

Ex Mortage CEO sentenced to prison for 3 years for a 3Billion dollar fraud.

Homeless man sentenced to prison for 15 years for stealing 100 dollars from a bank.

1) Does this seem fiar?

No this is not fair at all.

2) With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does this seem just and fair?

Its not fair at all. I made this choice because the guy who stole 3billion dollars only got sentenced to prison for 3 years. And the homeless man who was starving for food and wanting to stay in his shelter got sentenced to prison for 15 years, which is 12 years longer than the CEO who stole 3billion dollars.

3) What would you have done if you were the judge?

If i was the Judge. I would let the homeless man go off with a warning because he's homeless and he needs food and he also needs money to stay in the shelter.
