Question

Each block in Ton’s neighborhood is 2/3 mile long if he walk 4 1/2 blocks how far does he walk?

Answer 1

if each block is 2/3 miles long, and he walks 4 1/2 blocks, we can simply multiply to two. It looks like this:

(2/3)(4 1/2)

to multiply, make 4 1/2 into an improper fraction and multiply normally

(2/3)(9/4)

Ton walks 3 miles total.
