Samantha is trying to estimate th distance between her school and the park on a map with a scale of 0.5in =2miles the distance between her house and the park is 2.72 in which proportion can Samantha use to determine the distance D between her school and th park
Samantha can use the following proportion to determine the distance D between her school and the park:
0.5 in / 2 miles = 2.72 in / D
Solving for D:
D = (2.72 in * 2 miles) / 0.5 in
D = 5.44 miles
Therefore, the distance between Samantha's school and the park is 5.44 miles.
