Answer 1

The answer is 4 blocks North.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need a grid sheet to do this problem. Start anywhere on the grid sheet. Move 3 squares (blocks) right for East. Move 4 squares (blocks) toward the top for North. Then move 3 squares (blocks) left for West. You will be 4 (squares) blocks from where you started.
