B.the non-stop flight from San Diego by 400 miles
C.the non-stop flight from San Diego by 445 miles
D.the flight from San Francisco by 445 miles

Answer 1

Answer: To find the longest route for Eric to fly, we need to add up the distances for each option and compare them.

Option A: San Francisco to Denver to Chicago to New Jersey

Total distance = 698 + 678 + 965 = 2,341 miles

Option B: Non-stop from San Diego to New Jersey

Total distance = 2,786 miles

Option C: Non-stop from San Diego to New Jersey

Total distance = 2,786 miles

Option D: San Francisco to Denver to Chicago to New Jersey

Total distance = 698 + 678 + 965 = 2,341 miles

Therefore, the longest route for Eric to fly is Option D, from San Francisco to Denver to Chicago to New Jersey, which is 2,341 miles. This is longer than the non-stop flight from San Diego (Option B) by 445 miles. Therefore, the answer is (D) the flight from San Francisco by 445 miles.
