• Choice C

    Step 1:

    “... the distance between Exits 77 and 79 on Interstate 29 is 2 miles. On the map, this distance is 34\frac{3}{4}of an inch.” This information translates to:

    “2 miles in the real worlds is equivalent to 34\frac{3}{4} inch on the map”

    Step 2:

    And we are asked to find the distance in the real world that is equivalent to 3383\frac{3}{8} inches on the map:

    {x}{3{3}{8}}={2}{{3}{4}}\frac\{x\}\{3\frac\{3\}\{8\}\}=\frac\{2\}\{\frac\{3\}\{4\}\}
    x={2}{{3}{4}}×3{3}{8}=9\therefore x=\frac\{2\}\{\frac\{3\}\{4\}\} \times 3\frac\{3\}\{8\}=9
