Question

A road starts at sea level and climbs steadily, reaching an elevation of 2000 feet after 8 miles, as shown in the diagram.

What is the elevation in feet of the road 5 miles from the starting point?


(a.) 750
(b.) 1000
(c.) 1250
(d.) 1500

Answer 1

If you take 2000 and divide it by 8 then it’s 250. Then you multiple it by 5 and you get 1250. So the answer is C) 1250.
