Answer:


(3)/(5)blocks/minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of blocks walked = 15blocks

Time taken for the walk = 25minutes

Unknown:

Average speed = ?

Solution:

In this scenario, the average speed is the rate of walking the blocks per unit of time;

Average speed =
(number of blocks)/(time)

Input the parameters and solve;

Average speed =
(15)/(25)blocks/minutes

Average speed =
(3)/(5)blocks/minutes
