Answer:

108 blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe's grandmother lives 36 blocks away from Joe.

Joe rode two thirds of the way to the house is 2/3 * 36= 24 blocks.

Then he rode back to his house (1 - 2/3) * 36= 12 blocks.

Then Joe rode back to grandma's house= 36 blocks.

Then he rode straight home= 36 blocks.

Total number of blocks he rode is 24+12+36+36= 108 blocks.
