\n" ); document.write( "When Mr. Cansetti reaches the Police Station,
\n" ); document.write( "he has walked 7.5 blocks from his home,
\n" ); document.write( "and has passed the Post Office.
\n" ); document.write( "The Post office is 3.5 blocks behind him,
\n" ); document.write( "so the Post office is $\"7.5-3.5\"$ $\"%22=%22\"$ $\"%224.0%22\"$ blocks from Mr. Cansetti's home.
\n" ); document.write( "So, when Mr Cansetti had reached the Post office, he had walked 4.0 blocks.
\n" ); document.write( "Since the Store is $\"%226.0%22\"$ blocks from the Post Office,
\n" ); document.write( "after walking 4.0 blocks and reaching the Post office,
\n" ); document.write( "Mr. Cansetti had to walk 6.0 more blocks to get to the store, for a total of
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%224.0+%2B+6.0+=%22\"$ $\"highlight%2810%29\"$ blocks. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
