???: :( Help!
ms.blanco lives 7 blocks from a school and 4 blocks from from the nearest coffee shop. calculate the possible distances from the school to the shop.
The question is not comprehensive. (It is slightly open to different interpretations)
but
I'll give you the short answer. Draw a picture to see what I mean.
If you have to walk past the coffee shop to get to school then they will be 7-4 = 3 blocks apart.
The they are in opposite directions from the house then they will be 4+7 = 11 blocks apart.
If you take a block as a unit of distance then they can be anything from 3 to 11 blocks apart.
It really depends upon what you actually mean by 'block'.
and on whether you are talking road distance or air distance.
