Answer 1

Answer:

D. Two yards of fabric are used to make five place mats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Scenario = \frac{2}{5}$

Required

Select the option that describes the scenario

Options A, B and C do not describe the given scenario.

because they all represent

$Ratio = \frac{5}{2}$

Analyzing D:

We have the following:

Yards = 2

Place Mats = 5

$Ratio = \frac{Yards}{Place\ Mats}$

$Ratio = \frac{2}{5}$

Compare this ratio with the given scenario, we have:

$Ratio = Scenario= \frac{2}{5}$
