In a certain city, one block equals 0.25 miles. The city's high school is 4 blocks east of a grocery store. The city's library is 6 blocks east of the grocery store. A student walks to the library after school and then walks to the grocery store a few hours later. Which of the following is the number of miles this student has walked?

1.5 miles

This distance corresponds to six blocks, which is not the correct number of blocks that the student walked.

2 miles

The student first walks two blocks east to the library, and then walks six blocks west to the grocery store for a total of eight blocks. Eight blocks times 0.25 miles per block equals 2 miles. The street is laid out as follows:
