each block in Toms neighborhood is two-thirds of a mile long. if he walks four and a half blocks how far does he walk.

(9/2) * (2/3) = 18/6 = 3 miles

To find out how far Tom walks, you need to multiply the number of blocks he walks by the length of each block.

Given that each block in Tom's neighborhood is two-thirds of a mile long, we can calculate the total distance he walks by multiplying the length of one block by the number of blocks he walks.

So, to find how far Tom walks, you would calculate:

Distance walked = Length of one block * Number of blocks

Distance walked = (2/3) mile/block * 4.5 blocks

Calculating this, we get:

Distance walked = (2/3) * 4.5 mile

To simplify, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3:

Distance walked = 2 * 4.5 / 3 mile

Now, compute the multiplication:

Distance walked = 9 / 3 mile

Finally, simplify the fraction:

Distance walked = 3 mile

Therefore, Tom walks a total distance of 3 miles.
