Kim lives 3 city blocks north of the public library. Each city block in her town is 1 km. The market is 4 blocks west of the library. If Kim leaves her house and walks to the library and then to the market, before returning home, what is the total distance she will have walked?
A. 6 km
B. 12 km
C. 7 km
D. 14 km
D. 14 km
Explanation: It necessary to calculate the distance between the Kim’s home and the library, as well as the library and the market. You can add the distances. And then, because we know that Kim walked there AND back, we can multiple the distance by 2. So,
Distance to the library = 3 blocks = 3 km
Distance from the library to the market = 4 blocks = 4km
So, 3 + 4 = 7 km
7 x 2 = 14 km total
