Question 9 • TX-Advanced Quantitative Reasoning

On the map, the grocery store is 2 inches away from the library. The actual distance is 1.5 miles. The same map shows that the movie theater is 20 inches from the school. What is the actual distance from the movie theater to the school, rounded to the nearest mile?

Answer
A
15
B
27
C
30
D
60

Explanation

The map scale is 1.5 miles for every 2 inches. The movie theater and school are 20 inches apart, which is 10 times 2 inches, so their actual distance is 10 × 1.5 = 15 miles. The correct choice is 15 miles.
