Answer 1

8 blocks

Explanation:

As the north direction is upwards and the south direction is downwards the total distance between the two people 's (Megan and Jake) houses will be obtained by adding their distances from the library which is in the middle as shown in the diagram.

Hence total distance between the two houses= 3.5 + 4.5= 8 blocks

Jake and Meagan live 8 blocks apart.
