Complete question :

An ice cream stand uses the expression 2 + 0.5x2 to determine the cost (in dollars) of an ice cream cone that has x scoops of ice cream. How much does an ice cream cone with 5 scoops cost?

$14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Give the expression for the cost of ice cream cone with x scoops of ice cream :

Cost = 2 + 0.5x²

Cost of ice cream cone with 5 scoops of ice cream.

x = 5

Cost = 2 + 0.5(5²)

Cost = 2 + 0.5(25)

Cost = 2 + 12.5

Cost = 14.5

Hence, the cost of ice cream is $14.5

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
