Answer 2

Answer:

Distance of Maria's home is nearer to school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of distance of Maria's home to school to Karan's house =1 :2

Distance of Maria's home to school/Distance of Karan's home to school=1/2

(By doing cross multiplication)

2×distance of Maria's home to school= 1×distance of Karan's home to school

(As distance of Karan's home is multiplied by 1 and distance of Maria's home to school is multiplied by 2 then value becomes same)
