What is the distance from McComb to Yazoo via Magnolia?

• A. 98 miles
• B. 68 miles
• C. 105 miles
• D. 135 miles

Answer: (C)

Distances along a specified route are found by adding the distances of each segment on that route. To travel from McComb to Yazoo via Magnolia, you follow two road segments: McComb to Magnolia and Magnolia to Yazoo. Read the distance for each leg on the map and add them together. The sum of those two segments along the Magnolia route comes out to 105 miles, which is why that choice is correct. If you used a direct line or a different route, you’d get a different number, but the question specifies the route via Magnolia, so you add the two leg distances to get the total.
