Answer 1

4.75/0.25=19

200*19=3800

It will take Tammy 3800 steps

Answer 2

The number of steps she need to travel 4 3/4 city blocks is:

3800

Explanation:

It is given that:

Tammy takes 200 steps to travel 1/4 of a city block.

This means in order to travel a whole of a city block.

i.e. 1 city block he would take= 200×4=800 steps

Also,

`4(3)/(4)=(4* 4+3)/(4)=(19)/(4)=4.75`

Hence, in order to travel 4.75 city blocks she would need to take:

= 4.75×800 steps

= 3800 steps.
