Task 5




1. Does it seem fair?

No, it is not fair at all.

2. With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem just fair? Why have you made this choice?

No it is not fair because the boy who attempt to get $ 3 billion got 3 years sentenced but Roy Brown got 15 years sentence just because he attempt to get $ 100.

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

If I were the judge I would change the decision. Instead, I would give the boy who attempt to get $ 3 billion 15 years sentence and I would give Mr. Brown what he receive. I'll give him about a year or half of the year because he turned himself in.
