To solve this problem, we need to figure out how to get from the hotel to Fort Grant using the map provided.
Step 1: Locate the starting point — the Hotels.
Looking at the map, the Hotels are in the bottom right corner.
Step 2: Locate the destination — Fort Grant.
Fort Grant is in the top left corner of the map.
Step 3: Understand the rule.
The instructions say: “Take the hotel exit that opens onto Mitchell Street.” So we must start by going out of the hotel onto Mitchell Street.
Step 4: Trace the path.
- From the Hotels, go west (left) along Mitchell Street.
- At the first intersection, turn north (up) onto Lee Street.
- Continue north on Lee Street until you reach Grant Avenue.
- Turn west (left) onto Grant Avenue.
- Go west on Grant Avenue until you reach Eisenhower Street.
- Turn north (up) onto Eisenhower Street.
- Continue north on Eisenhower Street until you reach Fort Grant.
Wait — let’s double-check the map layout.
Actually, looking again:
The map has streets running vertically and horizontally.
Vertical streets (from left to right): Eisenhower Street, Lee Street, Mitchell Street
Horizontal streets (from top to bottom): Business Center row, then Grant Avenue, then Hotels row
Fort Grant is in the top-left block — above Eisenhower Street and to the left of Lee Street.
Hotels are in the bottom-right block — below Mitchell Street and to the right of Grant Avenue.
So from Hotels:
→ Exit onto Mitchell Street (going west/left)
→ Turn left (south? no — wait, if you’re on Mitchell Street going west, your next cross street going north would be Grant Avenue? Let’s reorient.)
Actually, let’s label the blocks clearly:
Top row (north side):
- Block 1: Fort Grant (left)
- Block 2: Green space (middle)
- Block 3: Business Center (right)
Bottom row (south side):
- Block 4: House with red roof (left)
- Block 5: Park with trees (middle)
- Block 6: Factory (right)
- Block 7: Hotels (far right, same row as factory)
Streets:
Vertical: Eisenhower (between blocks 1 & 4), Lee (between 2 & 5), Mitchell (between 3 & 6/7)
Horizontal: Grant Avenue runs between top and bottom rows.
So from Hotels (block 7, bottom right):
→ Exit onto Mitchell Street (which runs north-south). Since the hotel is on the east side of Mitchell Street, exiting onto Mitchell Street means you’re now on Mitchell Street facing north or south? The instruction says “exit that opens onto Mitchell Street” — so you step out onto Mitchell Street.
From there, to get to Fort Grant (top left), you need to go west and north.
Best route:
1. From Hotels, walk west along Mitchell Street (you’re already on it after exiting).
2. When you hit Grant Avenue (the horizontal street), turn left (north) onto Grant Avenue? No — Grant Avenue runs east-west. If you’re on Mitchell Street going west, you’ll cross Grant Avenue.
Actually, Grant Avenue is the street that separates the top row from the bottom row. So if you’re on Mitchell Street in the bottom row, and you go west, you’ll eventually reach Lee Street, then Eisenhower Street.
But Fort Grant is in the top-left block — which is north of Grant Avenue and west of Lee Street.
So correct path:
- From Hotels, exit onto Mitchell Street.
- Walk west along Mitchell Street (you’re in the bottom row).
- Cross Grant Avenue (you’re still going west).
- Continue west past Lee Street.
- Reach Eisenhower Street — turn left (north) onto Eisenhower Street.
- Go north on Eisenhower Street — you’ll pass Grant Avenue and enter the top row.
- You’re now in the block with Fort Grant — it’s directly ahead.
Yes, that works.
Final path:
Exit the hotel onto Mitchell Street. Walk west along Mitchell Street. Cross Grant Avenue. Continue west until you reach Eisenhower Street. Turn left (north) onto Eisenhower Street. Walk north — Fort Grant will be on your left.
This matches the map layout.
Final Answer:
Exit the hotel onto Mitchell Street. Walk west along Mitchell Street, crossing Grant Avenue. Continue west until you reach Eisenhower Street. Turn left (north) onto Eisenhower Street and walk north — Fort Grant will be on your left.
