if she walks 8.5 blocks in 17 minutes, divide 8.5 by 17, and you'll get 0.5 blocks per minute

Answer:

Kira walks [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] block each minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Kira walks in 17 minutes = [tex]8\frac{1}{2}[/tex] blocks

We have to calculate in one minute how many block will Kira walks.

first we convert [tex]8\frac{1}{2}[/tex] to decimal form

[tex]8\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 8.5 blocks

So we have to divide 8.5 by 17

[tex]\frac{8.5}{17}[/tex] = 0.5 block or [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] block

Kira walks [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] block each minute
