Imagine two constant drawing models. One draws 1/2 m/min for 4 minutes; the other draws 4/5 m/min for 2½ minutes. Calculate each output. Ask whether equal output means equal speed.

A way to check: both outputs are 2 m. The rates differ and the durations differ. Say the metre and minute units when explaining the calculation.
