At dismissal on Friday, Jai walks from school to the grocery store, then home.
 


Each unit on the diagram represents one block. Use the options that correctly complete the sentences below to indicate the number of blocks Jai walks on Friday.


Jai walks  blocks from school to the grocery store, and  blocks from the grocery store to her home.

She walks a total of  blocks at dismissal on Friday.

To solve this, I’ll need more details about the **diagram** you mentioned, such as the locations of the school, grocery store, and home on a grid or map. However, I can still guide you through the steps for calculating the total blocks walked. 

### Steps to solve:  
1. **From school to grocery store:**  
   - Count how many horizontal and vertical blocks Jai travels.
   - Add these two counts to get the total number of blocks for this part of the journey.

2. **From grocery store to home:**  
   - Similarly, count the horizontal and vertical blocks between the grocery store and home.
   - Sum the horizontal and vertical movements to find the total blocks for this route.

3. **Total blocks walked:**  
   - Sum both journeys (school to grocery store + grocery store to home) to find the total blocks Jai walks.

If you upload a picture of the diagram, I can analyze it and provide the exact number of blocks for each part of the trip.

Do you have any questions so far, or would you like to upload the diagram?  

Here are **five related questions** you might explore next:  
1. What if Jai takes a different route from the grocery store to her home?  
2. How could Jai minimize the total number of blocks walked?  
3. What if she takes a detour to a friend’s house before going home?  
4. How would the route change if the grocery store were relocated?  
5. Can we express the number of blocks in a mathematical function (e.g., absolute distance)?

**Tip:** In grid-based problems, the total distance can often be found using the **Manhattan distance**: adding the absolute horizontal and vertical changes between two points.
