Each city may have a different number of blocks in a mile, as they independently determine the size of their city blocks. There is no universal or standard size for city blocks. To determine how many blocks are equal to one mile, you first need to find the size of the blocks in the city you are asking about, and do the math.5,280 feet equals one mile. To find out how many city blocks would equal a mile, divide 5,280 feet by the number of feet in a block in the city in question.For example, the blocks in Tucson, Arizona are 400 feet long. Diving 5,280 by 400 means that 13.2 blocks would equal 1 mile.Another example, there are long blocks from east to west and short blocks from north to south in Manhattan. There are 20 short blocks in one mile.Depending upon where you are, there are approximately 20 city blocks to one mile.

Cinder blocks differ from concrete blocks in other ways besides their hollow design. Concrete blocks are made from slurry of Portland cement and small aggregate, such as small stones or gravel. Cinder blocks, on the other hand, are made from a combination of Portland cement and cinders, the dusty remnants of burned coal. The result is a lighter weight block formed into a rectangular masonry block. Although many people use the terms "cinder blocks" and "concrete blocks" interchangeably, a true cinder block will always be lighter than a concrete block, and the texture of cinder blocks may be rougher than finished concrete blocks. When bricklayers work with cinder blocks, they generally use techniques similar to standard brick lying. The alternative rows of cinder blocks are carefully offset so that the second layer stabilizes the first. A line of mortar is put down between cinder blocks, so the actual dimensions of a standard cinder block may be adjusted slightly to accommodate the mortar. Corners may be finished out with half blocks, or interlaced to create a four-cornered structure.

the use of hollow blocks is to build a strong foundation for houses because it is the support of our houses.
A typical 80lb bag of mortar can lay around 30 standard 8x8x16 cinder blocks, depending on the thickness of the mortar joints being used. It's recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the mortar bag for the most accurate estimation.
Calculate the exterior face area of he wall you want to build and the face area of the side of the cinder block (add about 1/2 inch to length and 12 inch to width for mortar thickness). Divide the wall area by the block area This is the number of blocks you require. This is how I figure out how many blocks you will need: First measure the length of walls for the blocks in feet. Second divide that number by 4 then multiply the total by 3. That will give you total blocks needed for one course of blocks.
A block is not a standard measure.
There are many breeze blocks or cinder blocks. Made in different plants, in different countries. - In Canada, the standard breeze block is 8 x 8 x 16 and weighs 40 pounds. There is also a'light' version, same size, but weighing 35 pounds. This appears to be almost identical to the USA's CMU.
That depends on what sort of block you mean, but there is no standard size for any sort of "block". City blocks are not a standard size and neither are cinderblocks or building blocks. You'd have to be more specific for a numerical answer.
