Teresa and Eva are walking home from school. They start out walking for 2 blocks and then running for 3 blocks and then repeating this pattern. If they walk 2 blocks in 4 minutes and run 3 blocks in 2 minutes, how long will it take them to go 18 blocks?

just do a pattern 2 blocks = 4 mins 3 = 2 when you get to twelve blocks count again 2 =4 3 = 2

then the anser is 15!!

5blocks=6mins
18blocks=xmins.

18/5 × 6= 21.6 = 21mins
