Question

Each morning, max walks to school. at 8:20, he passes a stoplight that is 2 blocks from home. he reaches the town library at 8:24. at this point, he is 3 blocks from school and half way there. if max walks at the same pace all the way to school, at what time does he arrive at school

Answer 1

Answer:

8:36

Step-by-step explanation:

If he is halfway there at 8:24 and it only took him 4 minutes to be another block away than it would take him 12 minutes for 3 blocks and adding 12 minutes to 8:24 would be 8:36.

Plz give brainliest.

Answer 2

This sentence is key: "At this point, he is 3 blocks from school and half way there" 
since 3 blocks is halfway of the trip, that means the total distance is 6 blocks 

from the stoplight to the library must be one block, and one block took him 4 minutes 

therefore, therefore, the total trip takes 4 * 6 = 24 minutes, or 4 * 3 = 12 minutes from the library 

8:24 + 12 = 8:36 

he arrives at school at 8:36 
(and yes, make sure to sketch this out!)
