Task 5


Does this seem fair?

No


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?

No, because the homeless guys just stole $100 while the Ex- Mortgage dude has $3b.

The Ex-mortgage should be in prison for 15 years than the homeless guy


What would you have done if you were the judge?

The homeless guy will be in the community center helping there for a year or 2.

I would also thank him for honest. And for the Ex-mortgage dude, I will sentence him in prison for 20 years.

Hello Kim! Well done on your job post. The definitions helped me a lot. The pictures are great, it shows the relationship between your definitions. I think you did all of the task well but your post would've been better if you change some font size and color. I also agreed with your opinion for task 5. Anyway, good job!
