Question

The map below shows the downtown area of a city. Each block shown on the map is 120 yards long.

The map has street numbers on the horizontal line and street name on the vertical line. Point Q is 5 blocks away from the right of point P and point R is 3 blocks away from the bottom of point Q. The scale reads length of the block equals 120 yards.

Marc walked from point P to point Q, and then from point Q to point R. How many yards did he walk in all?

A.
128 yards

B.
240 yards

C.
960 yards

D.
1,080 yards

Answer 1

P to Q = 5 blocks = 5 × 120 = 600 yards.
Q to R = 3 blocks = 3 × 120 = 360 yards.
Total = 600 + 360 = 960 yards.

Answer: C.
