Question 9 • Physical Science

Keisha told her friend that she can get to the town library by walking one mile east, turning left, and then walking a half a mile north. Which best describes how Keisha can improve these instructions to better help her friend find the library?

Answer
A
drawing a picture of the library on a line diagram
B
using meters as the unit instead of miles
C
providing a reference point
D
estimating the amount of time to get to the library

Explanation

Keisha gives distances and directions, but “one mile east” needs a starting location to be useful. Adding a reference point, such as the school or a nearby intersection, would tell her friend where to begin. Estimating the travel time or changing miles to meters would not clarify the starting point.
