Given the expression:

2.5x

Let's determine the situation which best represents the expression.

Let's start from the first statement:

• A. The total amount of change received to pay for an item that cost $2.50:

The best representation for this is: C = A - 2.50

Where A is the amount paid, C is the amount of change.

• B. The area of a rectangle with side lengths 2.5 and x:

The best representation for this situation is:

2.5x

• C. The total cost of an item that is 2.50 more than x dollars:

T = 2.50 + x

• D. The total square footage of a yard when 2.50 yards is divided into equal parts:

This expression cannot be represented by 2.5x

Therefore, the situation which can be represented by the expression 2.5 is:

The area of a rectangle with side lengths 2.5 and x

ANSWER:

B. The area of a rectangle with side lengths 2.5 and x
