Question

Kira walks 8 and a half blocks in 17 minutes. If Kira continues to walk at a steady pace, how many blocks will she walk each minute

Answer 1

Half a block ( 0.5 or 1/2 )

Explanation:

8 1/2 blocks can also be written as 8.5 blocks.

If Kira walks 8.5 blocks in 17 minutes [and continues to walk at this steady pace], divide 8.5 by 17.

8.5/17 = 0.5

So, Kira walked 0.5 or 1/2 blocks in a minute.

I hope this helps! :)
