Task 4: Heres a video about proportions





Task 5:
1)Does this seem fair?No, this is not fair.
2) With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem just and fair? Why have you made this choice? It's not fair because. The man who stole $ 3 billion and was only sentenced for 40 months in jail . And the homeless man who stole $100 who surrendered himself and gave back the money was sentenced for 15 years in jail.
3) What would you have done if you were the judge? If I were the judge, I would sentence the man who stole $3 billion 15 years in jail instead of the homeless man because the homeless man brought himself in and gave back the money.
