Youseff lives x blocks from his office. It takes him 1 minute per block to walk to work and 20 seconds per block to ride his bike to work. It is takes him exactly 8 minutes more to walk to work than to ride his bike to work, then x equals? Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 4 B) 7 C) 12 D) 15 E) 20

Rationale: "please follow posting guidelines , link is in my signatures . as for your question , x / 60 = blocks / time / block = block ^ 2 / time . this is not what you want . you are given x blocks and 60 seconds per block . thus you need to put it as 60 * x to give you units of seconds as you are equating this to 480 ( which is time in seconds . ) . thus the correct equation is : 60 * x - 20 * x = 480 - - - - > 40 x = 480 - - > x = 12 . option c"
Answer: C
