miller street begins at baker street and runs directly east for 4.5 kilometers until it ends when it meets turner street. miller street is intersected every 250 meters by a perpendicular street, and each of those streets other than baker street and turner street is given a number beginning at 1 st street ( one block east of baker street ) and continuing consecutively ( 2 nd street, 3 rd street, etc... ) until the highest - numbered street one block west of turner street. what is the highest - numbered street that intersects miller street?
subtract(divide(4.5, divide(250, const_1000)), 1)
4.5 km / 250 m = 18 . however , the street at the 4.5 - km mark is not 18 th street ; it is turner street . therefore , the highest numbered street is 17 th street . the answer is c .
