beth walks 2 blocks in 15 minutes . how many blocks would beth walk if she walked at the same rate for an hour?

2 (blocks) •4 (15 minutes)= 8 (blocks)

To find out how many blocks Beth would walk if she walked at the same rate for an hour, we first need to determine her rate of walking in blocks per minute. We can do this by dividing the number of blocks she walks by the time it takes her to walk those blocks.

Given that Beth walks 2 blocks in 15 minutes, we can calculate her rate of walking as follows:

Rate of walking = Number of blocks / Time taken

Rate of walking = 2 blocks / 15 minutes

Now, to determine the number of blocks Beth would walk in an hour, we multiply her rate of walking (blocks per minute) by the number of minutes in an hour (60 minutes), since we want to know the blocks she could walk in 60 minutes.

Number of blocks = Rate of walking × Time taken

Number of blocks = (2 blocks / 15 minutes) × (60 minutes)

Now, let's calculate it:

Number of blocks = (2/15) * 60 = 8

Therefore, Beth would walk 8 blocks if she walked at the same rate for an hour.
