What is the distance from Hazal to Magnolia?

This question tests using a map scale to convert a measured distance into real-world miles. You first measure the straight-line distance between Hazal and Magnolia on the map. Then you apply the map’s scale to convert that map distance into miles. For example, if the map’s scale is 1 inch equals 10 miles and the measured distance between the towns on the map is 3.8 inches, the real distance is 3.8 × 10 = 38 miles. The other options would correspond to different measured map distances (e.g., 3 inches would be 30 miles at that scale, 6 inches would be 60 miles, 1.6 inches would be 16 miles).
