Let’s check out your problem:

Uche is a cartographer. He picks a scale to fit a map of India onto a page of an atlas. The page is $12$ by $12$ inches, with $0$.$75$ inch margins on all $4$ sides. India measures $3$,$214$ kilometers from north to south and $2$,$933$ kilometers from west to east. Uche wants the longest dimension of India to fit exactly in between the margins of the page. If $k$ is the number of kilometers per inch in Uche's scale, which equation best models the situation?$\newline$Choose $1$ answer:$\newline$(A) $\frac{k}{12}=3,214$$\newline$(B) $12 k=2,933$$\newline$(C) $\frac{k}{10.5}=2,933$$\newline$(D) $10.5 k=3,214$
