Answer 1

From Bloomington, if the distance to Norwood is 50 miles, then 15 miles farther is it to Kingwood. Thus the correct option is B. 15 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the distance from Bloomington to Kingwood, we need to add the distance from Bloomington to Norwood (50 miles) with the additional distance from Norwood to Kingwood. The question provides only the distance from Bloomington to Norwood (50 miles). Therefore, the total distance to Kingwood is 50 miles + X miles, where X is the additional distance from Norwood to Kingwood.

Now, we have to look at the answer choices to find the correct value for X. The correct answer is B. 15 miles. Therefore, the total distance from Bloomington to Kingwood is 50 miles + 15 miles = 65 miles.

In summary, the correct answer is B. 15 miles, as it represents the additional distance from Norwood to Kingwood. This calculation is based on the information provided in the question and the given answer choices.

In mathematical terms:

`\[ \text{Total distance to Kingwood} = \text{Distance to Norwood} + X \]`

`\[ \text{Total distance to Kingwood} = 50 \, \text{miles} + X \]`

`\[ \text{Total distance to Kingwood} = 65 \, \text{miles} \]`

Therefore, the correct answer is 15 miles, representing the additional distance from Norwood to Kingwood.

Thus the correct option is B. 15 miles.
