One day I was coming home from school, and suddenly when I was going to go unlock the door. A light flashed into my eyes, and I looked up and noticed there was a UFO on top of my house floating. Some weird forms of life, came down and said " We don't come in peace, and we will destroy your city unless you help us out with our proportion problem. " I was thinking, " Has time stopped, because my family isn't moving? " The alien said " It is up to you now, to help us with our problems or we will destroy this city, if your answer is wrong say GOOD-BYE to everyone. " I was so scared, everyone's life was at stake and it was up to me to save them.
The first question they asked me was:
What is the unit rate for each? a) Two pens cost 94 cents.

b) Four blocks stacked one on top of the other are 24 cm.

The second question was:
A small gear turns 18 times in the same time that a large gear turns 4 times. How many times will the large gear turn if the small gear turns 54 time? Draw a diagram to help set up a proportion and solve the problem.

The third question was:
14. Last night 30 cm of snow fell in 6h. If it continues snowing at the same rate, how long will it take for 45 cm of snow to fall?

Then, they left so fast its like nothing ever happened. The time wasn't frozen anymore, and my whole family was looking at me weirdly because I looked so happy to see them back in motion. They never believed my story and they thought I must have hit my head on something. But in my head I knew that I saved our city. (:
