Question

The above diagram shows 4 island countries in the Marina Ocean. According to the scale, each line segment represents a distance of 200 miles. The capital of each island country is marked with a star.

A group of students decide to fly a remote control plane from one island to another island as an experiment. The plane will be launched from the capital of Yellow Island and it will head due east. The plane is supposed to fly at least 1,000 miles but runs out of fuel at 600 miles. Where does the plane land?

Answer 1

The plane would have traveled 600 miles due east from the capital of Yellow Island. Based on the scale of the map, that would put the plane right at the capital of Pink Island. Therefore, the plane would have landed at the capital of Pink Island.
