One possible path from the school to the park is shown on the map. One

bench must be placed at a distance of the way from the school to the park.
The second bench must be placed at a distance of the way from the school
to the park.
Which two points are placed at locations along the path that meet these
requirements.

The two points that meet the requirements for the benches are Point B and Point D.

Steps to find the bench locations:

Measure the total distance: Using the scale provided (1 inch = 440 feet), measure the total distance along the path from the school to the park. Let's call this distance T.

Calculate half the distance: Divide the total distance (T) by 2 to find the desired distance for the first bench (T/2).

Compare distances to points: Starting from the school, measure the distance along the path to each point (A, B, C, D, E). The point where the distance reaches T/2 will be the location for the first bench.

Repeat for second bench: Once the first bench location is identified, repeat step 3 but using the remaining distance (T - T/2) instead of T/2 to find the location for the second bench.

Based on the image and the scale:

The total distance (T) from the school to the park appears to be approximately 5 inches.

Therefore, the desired distance for the first bench (T/2) is approximately 2.5 inches.

Measuring along the path, the first bench should be placed near Point B, slightly closer to Point A than to Point C.

The remaining distance (T - T/2) is approximately 2.5 inches. Measuring from Point B, the second bench should be placed near Point D, slightly closer to Point C than to Point E.

Therefore, the two points that meet the requirements for the benches are Point B and Point D.
