Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Given

`Scenario = (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 = (5)/(2)`

Analyzing D:

We have the following:

Yards = 2

Place Mats = 5

`Ratio = (Yards)/(Place\ Mats)`

`Ratio = (2)/(5)`

Compare this ratio with the given scenario, we have:

`Ratio = Scenario= (2)/(5)`
