Answer: 5 blocks

Explanation:

If they both walked in the same direction, they both will be the same distance from each other.

If Madison went to a coffee shop 2 blocks west from the store, and her sister went from the store they were previously at to her job 7 blocks west, then, since they walked in the same direction, they would only be 5 blocks away.

Hope this helps :)
