8 1-and-a-half blocks would be 12 blocks, and so 12/17, because 12 blocks in 17 mins., so you divide 12 by 17 to get ---- blocks per minute, which is 12/17 as a fraction, or approx. 0.705882353 blocks per minute.

Cosine is adjacent/hypotenuse
The adjacent side to angle F is 60, and the hypotenuse is 61
Therfore, C) 60/61 would be the correct choice
hope this helps:)
First, you need to distribute the right side of the equation : 8n - 2
Now the equation is : 20 - 7n = 8n - 2
Add 2 to both sides : 22 - 7n = 8n
Add 7n to both sides : 22 = 15n
Divide both sides by 15 : ( I had to round this one) 1.5 = n
