Explanation
This is a problem based on equivalent ratios - a very important concept in algebra which says if two ratios are equal, visually represented as a/b = c/d. In this case, the correct implementation of the equal ratio concept will identify the diagram best representing how long the part of the garland with popcorn is when the whole garland is 84cm long. Analyzing the presented options will provide the correct answer of equivalent ratios.
