Solution

The three options that Lyle could include on his map are:

  1. One-fifth inch = Three-fourths mile: This is the scale that Lyle has already determined based on the distance between his house and his school.

  2. 4 inches = 15 miles: This scale is equivalent to the first option. If you multiply both sides of the first scale by 20, you get 4 inches = 15 miles.

  3. 3 inches = 12 miles: This scale is also equivalent to the first option. If you multiply both sides of the first scale by 15, you get 3 inches = 12 miles.
