 1. No.
 2. No, does not seem just and fair.
 3. The homeless man only stole $100 and he returned it back. While the CEO is going to prison for only 40 months after stealing $3 billion, which he didn't return. $100 compared to $3 billion is a huge difference.
 4. If I was the judge I would've gave him 1-2 weeks of community service, because he returned the money back.

Q: How tall is the tree on the right?
A: The average height of a 12 year old boy is about 5'2. The boy is about 3 times of a tree.
     So, 5.2 x 3 = 15.6. The tree is about 15.6 ft. tall.

  1. my impression was "i think you did a good job on your post, i learned alot form your post. i think the ones you did well was part one the definitions. when you described the definitions, i understand what it describes and your examples are very good. another thing i thought you did excellent was when you did "find 3 ways to show the fraction" i learned that you can use the baseball bat for one of them and the horizontal and vertical in fractions. one thing you could have done better was the video, i couldnt really understand what the lady was trying to say. but other wise great job on your post :)

  3. My overall impression is that I find it really confusing but after I read the instructions it all made sense. My 3 stars are putting a picture as my examples. Another thing I think I did well is that I have labels. The last thing I think I did well is that the important words were either bold or had color. My one wish is that I could’ve done my own video.
