Answer:

3.51724 blocks

2.48275 blocks

Explanation:

L = Length of one block

t = Time taken by both person

[tex]Distance=Speed\times Time[/tex]

[tex]1.2t+1.7t=6L\\\Rightarrow 2.9t=6L\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{6}{2.9}L[/tex]

Distance that I walk

[tex]s=1.7t\\\Rightarrow s=1.7\times \dfrac{6}{2.9}L\\\Rightarrow s=3.51724L[/tex]

The Distance that I will walk is 3.51724 blocks

Distance my friend will walk

[tex]s=1.2t\\\Rightarrow s=1.2\times \dfrac{6}{2.9}L\\\Rightarrow s=2.48275L[/tex]

Distance my friend will walk is 2.48275 blocks
