On a map, 1.5 inches represent 24 miles. How many miles approximately is the distance if you measured 46 centimeters assuming that 1-inch is 2.54 centimeters?	Select the correct option:
A) 174.2
B) 212
C) 288.1
D) 290
E) 282.4
1.5 inch = 2.54*1.5 cm.   So, 2.54*1.5 represents 24 miles.   So for 46 cm.:   46/(2.54*1.5) = x / 24 ---&gt; x = 24*46/(3.81) = 290   Answer will be 290.
