Question

Choose which porportion can be used to find the number square miles in 7 acres​

Answer 1

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

When you look for a proportion to solve, we want the given rate on the right. Then on the left, we need to make sure the units line up. In addition, A is not correct since it supposed we have 7 sq miles, which is not what is given by the equation.

Answer 2

The answer is the last one: D.

Explanation:

We know that one acre is equal to 0.0015625 square miles, so that would be the first part of the proportion. You are trying to find how many square miles are in 7 acres, so that would make 7 acres over x square miles. The proportion would now look like this: 1 acre over 0.0015625 sq. miles = 7 acres over x square miles. Cross multiply.

:D Hope this explains how to get the answer.
