Question

Aricela is trying to estimate the distance between her house and the park. On a map with a scale of 0.5 in. = 2 miles, the distance between her house and the park is 2.75 in. Which proportion can Aricela use to determine the distance, d, between her house and the park? A) 0.5 2.75 = 2 d Eliminate B) d 0.5 = 2.75 2 C) d 2 = 0.5 2.75 D) 0.5 d = 2 2.75

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A  -  $\frac{0.5}{2.75}=\frac{2}{d}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Aricela is trying to estimate the distance between her house and the park. On a map with a scale of 0.5 in. = 2 miles, the distance between her house and the park is 2.75 in.

To find : Which proportion can Aricela use to determine the distance, d, between her house and the park?

Solution :

The distance between her house and the park is 'd' miles.

A scale of 0.5 in. = 2 miles

The distance between her house and the park is 2.75 in.

i.e. the scale is 2.75 in. = d miles

The proportion form is

$\frac{0.5\ in}{2.75\ in}=\frac{2\ miles}{d\ miles}$

Therefore, proportion can Aricela use to determine is  $\frac{0.5}{2.75}=\frac{2}{d}$.

So, option A is correct.
