\n" ); document.write( "Unlike the other tutor, I will assume the \"total of 4 miles\" includes the distance from his home to school.

\n" ); document.write( "Then a total of 4 miles means he has ridden the 3 miles to school and 1 mile back towards home from school; that puts him 2 miles from home.
\n" ); document.write( "
