Samantha is trying to estimate the distance between her school 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 Samantha use to determine the distance, d, between her school and the park?

0.52.75=2d
0 point 5 over 2 point 7 5 is equal to 2 over d

d2=0.52.75
d over 2 is equal to 0 point 5 over 2 point 7 5

0.5d=22.75
0 point 5 over d is equal to 2 over 2 point 7 5

d0.5=2.752
d over 0 point 5 is equal to 2 point 7 5 over 2

d = 2.75 / 0.5 = 5.5

Samantha can use the proportion: 0.5 / 2.75 = 2 / d
Therefore, d = 2 * 2.75 / 0.5 = 5.5

The estimated distance between Samantha's school and the park is 5.5 miles.
