Sagot :

The answer is C

If you are given a 2 inch distance from the post office to the park and it’s known that 2 inches= 2 miles and you also know that the distance from the park to the school is 8 inches which is 4 times more than the distance from the post office to the park then you know that the amount of miles will be 4 times more than 2 miles so, 4x2=8 which means that the distance between the park and school is 8 miles.

Hope that makes sense :))
It’s eight miles, as you can see 2 miles = 2 inches which means every inch is one mile, so eight inches means eight miles! Hope this helps.
