A. 36.5 centimeters
B. 40.0 centimeters
C. 42.5 centimeters
D. 45.0 centimeters
E. 48.0 centimeters
The actual distance in miles is \(\frac{136}{1.6} = \frac{1360}{16} = 85\) miles. This corresponds to \(\frac{85}{5} = 17\) inches on the map, which is the same as \(17*2.5 = 42.5\) centimeters.
Answer: C
