A skydiver jumps out of an airplane. After 0.8 seconds, she has fallen 100 feet. After 3.1 seconds, she has fallen 500 feet. She says that she should have fallen about 187.5 feet in 1.5 seconds. Is this correct? Why?

No! This is not a proportional relationship, so we cannot make the claim that the skydiver fell 187.5 feet in 1.5 seconds.

There is a proportional relationship between your distance from a thunderstorm and the time it takes from when you see lightning to when you hear the thunder. If there are 9 seconds between when you see the lightning and hear thunder then the storm is 3 kilometers away. If you double the amount of time between when you see lightning and hear thunder, does the distance in kilometers between you and the storm also double? Why?

Yes! because it is a proportional relationship, we must double the distance to maintain a constant rate of change/unit rate.

Eli takes a typing test and types all 300 words in 1/10 of an hour. He takes the test a second time and types all of the words in 1/12 of an hour. Was he faster or slower the second time? How do you know?

The unit rate for the first was 3000 words per hour, while the second one was 3600 words per hour.

1/12 is less time than 1/10
