20 steps. 50 divided by 2.5.

calculista · Answer

we know that 
 using proportion 
 2.5 1 ​ f t s t e p ​ = 50 x ​ f t 50 ∗ 1 = x ∗ 2.5 x = 2.5 50 ​ x = 20 s t e p s 
 therefore 
 the answer is equal to 
 20 s t e p s

calculista · Answer

An average person would take 20 steps to travel 50 feet if each step is 2.5 feet long. This is calculated by dividing the total distance by the step length. Therefore, the calculation is 2.5 feet 50 feet ​ = 20 steps .
