Only thing about me is the way I walk...

Before turning in your walking and running worksheet, answer the following questions:

1) According to your worksheet, approximately how long (in minutes) would it take you to walk 1 kilometer? Do you believe this is true? Why or why not?

2) Approximately how long (in minutes) would it take you to run 1 kilometer? Do you believe this is true? Why or why not?

3) As you see, setting up proportions can help us solve so many different types of problems by setting smaller ratios equal to larger ones. But what about Question #7? Without comparing your ratios with other groups, do you think there will be a correlation between walk times and leg length measurements? If so, what do you think the correlation is? If not, why do you think there isn't one?
