Final answer:

Blake will need to save for 10 weeks to reach a total savings of $1,450, as he saves $25 each week starting with $1,200 in his account.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how long it will take for Blake to have $1,450 in his savings account, we can divide the difference between $1,450 and $1,200 by the amount he saves per month, which is $25:

450 / 25 = 18

It will take Blake 18 months to have $1,450 in his savings account.

Blake currently has $1,200 in his savings account and saves $25 per week. To find out how long it will take Blake to have $1,450 in his account, we must first calculate the total amount he needs to save:

$1,450 - $1,200 = $250.

Now, we divide the total amount Blake needs to save by the amount he saves per week to determine the number of weeks it will take:

$250 รท $25/week = 10 weeks.

Therefore, it will take Blake 10 weeks to save enough money to reach $1,450 in his savings account, assuming he does not withdraw any money and continues to save at the same rate.
