A researcher asks a participant to memorize a city map. On the map, the library and the school are 2 inches apart; the school and the hospital are 4 inches apart. The researcher now instructs the participant to form an image of the map and to scan from the library to the school. The researcher then asks the participant to scan from the school to the hospital. Which of the following is MOST likely to be true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Because the distance between the school and the hospital is twice the distance between the library and the school, it will take the participant twice as long to scan from the school to the hospital compared to scanning from the library to the school. Therefore, the scanning time from the school to the hospital is double the scanning time between the library and the school.
