The city has $42,000,000 to repave the streets. If it costs $140 to repave each block, how many blocks can the city repave?




 blocks

To find out how many blocks the city can repave, divide the total amount of money available by the cost to repave each block:

\[
\text{Number of blocks} = \frac{\$42,000,000}{\$140}
\]

Let's calculate this:

\[
\text{Number of blocks} = 300,000
\]

So, the city can repave **300,000 blocks**.

Here are 5 related questions to consider:
1. If the cost to repave each block increases to $150, how many blocks can be repaved?
2. What if the city only had $30,000,000? How many blocks could be repaved at $140 per block?
3. If the city wants to repave 350,000 blocks, how much additional money will be needed?
4. How many blocks could be repaved if the cost was reduced to $120 per block?
5. If only 250,000 blocks need repaving, how much money will be left over?

**Tip:** When dividing by a small number like 140, consider breaking it down into easier steps, such as dividing by 100 and then adjusting for the extra amount.
