Maya walks 9 blocks to school. If she walks 2 blocks in four minutes, how long will it take Maya to get to school.
katrin2010 [14]

Hello!

In order to find this out we should first know the ratio for the time and distance. So it takes her 4 minutes to go 2 blocks. So the ratio looks like this: 4:2. If we are trying to find 9 blocks, then multiply it by 4 and just add the other two minutes .

So in total your answer is: It takes Maya 18 minutes to walk 9 blocks.

I hope it helps!
