Ray always takes the same route when he walks his dog. First, he walks 4 blocks to the park. Then he walks 7 blocks to the high school. Finally, he walks 11 blocks to get back home. Ray walks his dog 3 times each day. How many blocks does Ray's dog walk each day? Give me reasons, before answering the question
The number of blocks in each walk around the neighborhood is 4 blocks + 7 blocks + 11 blocks = 22. Ray's dog walks 3 walks × 22 blocks / walk = 66 blocks each day. So the final answer is 66.
