Lindsey lives 32 blocks from the grocery store. It takes her 9 minutes to walk 12 blocks. If she continues to walk at the same rate, how long would it take her to walk 32 blocks?

Answer:

if she countinues to walk at that rate it will take her 24 minutes to walk the 32 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

i took the 12 blocks every 9 minutes and counted for a total of 36 blocks which would take 27 minutes then since we want to know how long it would take for her to walk 32 blocks I found how long it would take her to walk 4 blocks which is 3 minutes (12/3 = 4 9/3 =3) and i subtracted those 3 minutes from the 36 block walk giving you 24 minutes for 32 blocks

hope this helps
