Hula Hoop Race

Team stands in a circle and hold hands. They place a hula hoop over two people's hands. How many people can go through the hoop in 10 seconds without anyone breaking hands? Continue this process but increase the time to 15 seconds, 20 seconds, and then 30 seconds. What is the ratio of the number of people through the hoop to the number of seconds for each round? Represent these ratios in a table and on a graph. Discuss the data: which round was the fastest? what would the table or graph look like if players played at a constant rate from round to round?
