Question

Can someone help and explain​

Answer 1

`(1)/(2)` blocks

Explanation:

If it takes 15 minutes to walk 7 1/2 blocks, it should be 15:17
`(1)/(2)`

The left side is minutes and the right side is the number of blocks

15:17
`(1)/(2)`

1: ? Since we are figuring out how many blocks he can walk in a minute, the left side is 1 and the right side is a question mark because we have not figured it out yet.

15: 17
`(1)/(2)` Divide by 15 on both sides because that is the "distance" from 15 to1

1 : ?

1:
`(1)/(2)`

So the answer is
`(1)/(2)`
