To ride to school, Elaine takes 7 minutes to ride 18 blocks. What is her unit rate (blocks per minute)? Assuming she rides at a constant speed, how long should it take her to go 50 blocks?

She rides 18/7 blocks in one minute

 

To see how long it would take her to ride 50 blocks, we have

 

50 / (18/7)  =

 

50 * 7  / 18    =   about 19.444 minutes
