Hello!

In order to find this out we should first know the ratio for the time and distance. So it takes her 4 minutes to go 2 blocks. So the ratio looks like this: 4:2. If we are trying to find 9 blocks, then multiply it by 4 and just add the other two minutes .

So in total your answer is: It takes Maya 18 minutes to walk 9 blocks.

I hope it helps!

2 blocks per 4 minutes, so 1 block per 2 minutes.

9 blocks * 2 min = 18 min.

will take 18 minutes total.
