Worked solution

8

1. Determine the angle between adjacent points on the 8-point compass

The compass has 8 points, so the angle between each adjacent point is:
360∘÷8=45∘360^\circ \div 8 = 45^\circ

2. Calculate the number of intervals to turn

Number of 45∘45^\circ intervals in 225∘225^\circ:
225∘÷45∘=5 intervals225^\circ \div 45^\circ = 5 \text{ intervals}

3. Determine the final direction by counting intervals anti-clockwise

Starting from the market (North-West), turning 5 intervals anti-clockwise:

  1. West
  2. South-West
  3. South
  4. South-East
  5. East

The place at East is the swimming pool.

Answer

swimming pool (option 3)
