Miller Street begins at Baker Street and runs directly east for 4.5 kilometers until it ends when it meets Turner Street. Miller Street is intersected every 250 meters by a perpendicular street, and each of those streets other than Baker Street and Turner Street is given a number beginning at 1st Street (one block east of Baker Street) and continuing consecutively (2nd Street, 3rd Street, etc...) until the highest-numbered street one block west of Turner Street. What is the highest-numbered street that intersects Miller Street? Options:
A) 15th
B) 16th
C) 17th
D) 18th
E) 19th
4.5 km / 250 m = 18.   However, the street at the 4.5-km mark is not 18th Street; it is Turner Street.   Therefore, the highest numbered street is 17th Street.   The answer is 17th.
