To answer the questions based on the data provided:

  1. The person doing the most jumping jacks per minute: Calculate the rate of jumping jacks per minute for both Kimberly and Katrina.

    • Kimberly (using the last recorded time and number of jumping jacks):

      • 106 jumping jacks at 16 minutes: \[ \text{Rate}_{\text{Kimberly}} = \frac{106}{16} \approx 6.625 , \text{jumping jacks/min} \]
    • Katrina (using the last recorded time and number of jumping jacks):

      • 160 jumping jacks at 20 minutes: \[ \text{Rate}_{\text{Katrina}} = \frac{160}{20} = 8 , \text{jumping jacks/min} \]

    Answer: Katrina

  2. The person showing a proportional relationship between time and # of jumping jacks: Check for a constant ratio (the same rate of change).

    • For Kimberly:

      • Rates:
        • 28/3 ≈ 9.33
        • (58-28)/(8-3)=30/5=6
        • (82-58)/(12-8)=24/4=6
        • (106-82)/(16-12)=24/4=6
      • Not consistent.
    • For Katrina:

      • Rates:
        • 16/2 = 8
        • (40-16)/(5-2) = 24/3 = 8
        • (96-40)/(12-5) = 56/7 = 8
        • (160-96)/(20-12) = 64/8 = 8
      • Consistent.

    Answer: Katrina

  3. The person that did the most jumping jacks initially before the time started: The first recorded jumping jacks count.

    • Kimberly starts with 28 jumping jacks at 3 minutes.
    • Katrina starts with 16 jumping jacks at 2 minutes.

    Answer: Kimberly

To summarize:

  • The person doing the most jumping jacks per minute: Katrina
  • The person showing a proportional relationship between time and # of jumping jacks: Katrina
  • The person that did the most jumping jacks initially before the time started: Kimberly
