These rates are not in proportion. Jim walked faster.

Explanation:
First, we want to make these ratios to have the same denominator so we can compare the numerators. To do this, do 3x5 and 8x5 to get 40:15. Then, we do 5x3 and 14x3 to get 42:15. Now we can just compare the numbers 40 and 42, and since 42 < 40, we know Jim walked faster.
