Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Larry scored x points

Ervin scores half as many points in a game as Larry

We need to make an expression using the given statement

For larry points we use the variable x.

Half as many points means 1/2 as larry

Ervin = half as larry

Ervin scored
(1)/(2) of larry

Ervin scored
(1)/(2) x
