Question

Jennine estimates that each step she takes is 18" long and that she takes 1550 steps

per block. How many blocks must she walk if she wants to walk 5 miles?

Answer 1

Answer: Jennine must walk 11.36 blocks.

Explanation:

Since each step is 18" long and she takes 1550 steps per block, a block must equal to 1550*18", or 27,900".

27,900" is roughly 0.44 miles.

Therefore 5mi. /0.44mi. = ~11.36 blocks
