Answer

15 blocks

Step-by-step explanation

Total miles to travel home = (3/4) mile

Each block = (1/20) mile

But we can tell that

Total miles to travel home = (Number of blocks) × (Length of each block)

Let the number of blocks = n

Total miles to travel home = (Number of blocks) × (Length of each block)

(3/4) = (n) × (1/20)

(3/4) = (n/20)

Cross multiply and we have

4 × n = 3 × 20

4n = 60

Divide both sides by 4

(4n/4) = (60/4)

n = 15 blocks

Hope this Helps!!!
