Question

Anna does sit-ups to get ready for her first triathlon. When she starts, she does a sit-up every 222 seconds. But, as she gets tired, each sit-up takes longer and longer to do. Is the number of sit-ups Anna does proportional to the time she spends doing them? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A Yes (Choice B) B No

Answer 1

Answer:

Choice B) No.

Step-by-step explanation:

When she starts , she does a sit-up every 222 seconds.

But as she gets tired, each sit-up takes longer and longer to do.

It means, each sit-up takes more time than she did at beginning.

So, it is NOT proportional to the time.

If it is proportional, she should take constant number of sit-ups even she get tired.
