PART 5

Does this seem fair?

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?

What would you have done if you were the judge?

1. NO because the ceo stole alot of money than the other guy and he did not return the money that he stole. 
2. NO because the ceo stole a bigger amount of money thatn the other guy.
3. because theres a big diffirence between 3 billion to $100. the ceo should be sentenced for 15 years instead of the man who stole a $100 and returned it.
4. i would set him free because he's honest and he he didnt stole that much of money and it's a good thing he returned the money.

BONUS QUESTION  How tall is the tree?  

this kid's height is propbably 5'5 and it would take 3 kids put together to reach that tree so 5.5x3=16.5.
