Here is a map of central Europe. The light-colored nation is Austria. Since the map does not show a compass, you can safely assume that north is toward the top; and, therefore, east is to the right, west to the left, and south toward the bottom.

On this map, you have a choice of using a distance scale of km (kilometers) or mi (miles). The U.S. is the only nation that still uses the mile as the standard unit of distance. So U.S. students should answer the questions in terms of miles, and Canadian students in terms of kilometers.

 

Notice the distance scale printed in the upper-left corner of the map.  Use this scale to determine the following distances:  (check the correct answers into the blanks in the Quiz.)

A. Salzburg to Linz = ____

B. Linz to Vienna = _____

C. Vienna to Graz = ___

D. Innsbruk to Graz = ___
