Answer 1

if she walks 8.5 blocks in 17 minutes, divide 8.5 by 17, and you'll get 0.5 blocks per minute

Answer 2

Kira walks
`(1)/(2)` block each minute

Explanation:

Kira walks in 17 minutes =
`8(1)/(2)` blocks

We have to calculate in one minute how many block will Kira walks.

first we convert
`8(1)/(2)` to decimal form

`8(1)/(2)` = 8.5 blocks

So we have to divide 8.5 by 17

`(8.5)/(17)` = 0.5 block or
`(1)/(2)` block

Kira walks
`(1)/(2)` block each minute
