Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A tricky question.
The horizontal movement is fairly clear. There are 8 horizontal bars which have a scale of 0.5 km/bar for a total of8(0.5) = 4 km
The vertical bars are a different matter. We are not given a direct scale conversion, so if we ASSUME that each vertical grid spacing is equal to a horizontal grid spacing, then three vertical bars 3(0.5) = 1.5 km for a total distance of 4 + 1.5 = 5.5 km
If we ASSUME from the drawn proportions that 2 vertical bars equal 0.5 km, then we have 4 + 3(0.25) = 4.75 km.
Based on the answer options given, the first assumption must be correct.
D. 5.5km
