Question

On a map of Tennessee, one inch represents 15 miles. If Chattanooga and Nashville are 11.3 inches apart on the map, how many miles apart are the cities?
A)
26.5


B)
133.5


C)
163.5


D)
169.5

Answer 1

The correct answer is d that is because if it is 1 onch per 15 miles then do 11x15 and you get 165 c and d are the only 2 close enough to be it but from there you can cancel c because its 11.3 which means it must be more than 165. and d is the only one that is greater then 165
