Julieta left her house and drove to the store. She stopped and went inside. From there, she drove in the same direction until she got to the bank. She stopped and went inside the bank. Then she drove home. The graph below shows the number of blocks away from home Julieta is xx minutes after she left her house, until she got back home.

how many blocks

1 answer

To determine the number of blocks from Julieta's house to the bank based on the provided scenario, we need to analyze the key points in her journey:

  1. Leaving Home to Store: When Julieta leaves her house, the distance from home starts at 0 blocks.
  2. Distance to Store: We need to identify the point where she stopped at the store; while this information isn't explicitly given, we can estimate that she continues driving after the store.
  3. Distance to Bank: After leaving the store, she drives in the same direction until she reaches the bank, at which point she stops and goes inside.
  4. Returning Home: Finally, after leaving the bank, she drives back home, reducing the distance from home back to 0 blocks.

If we refer to the graph you're mentioning, we would look for the point where she reaches the bank after leaving the store. The y-value at that point would show how many blocks she is from home at that time.

To summarize:

  • If the graph indicates, for example, that Julieta is 6 blocks away from home when she reaches the bank, then the distance from her house to the bank is 6 blocks.

The exact value can only be confirmed with the specific y-value from the graph when she reaches the bank. If you provide that data or further details from the graph, I can assist you in calculating the exact number of blocks.
