Each morning Jacob walks to school. At 8:20 AM he passes a stoplight that is two blocks from home. He walks another block and reaches the town library at 8:24 AM. At this point he is three blocks from school and halfway there. If Jacob walks at the same pace all the way to school, when does he arrive at school?

Answer:

8:30 I think

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:



this sentence is key: "At this point, he is 3 blocks from school and half way there"  

since 3 blocks is halfway of the trip, that means the total distance is 6 blocks  

from the stoplight to the library must be one block, and one block took him 4 minutes  

therefore, therefore, the total trip takes 4 * 6 = 24 minutes, or 4 * 3 = 12 minutes from the library  

8:24 + 12 = 8:36  

he arrives at school at 8:36
