Answer:
Selena lives [tex]x=\frac{1}{3}[/tex] mile far from school.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distance Selena walk from home to school be x mile. then the distance she walk back to home will be x mile also . as distance between home to school is same as distance between school to home.
Total distance Selena walk each day = x + x = 2x
also, given distance traveled by Selena each day = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Thus,
[tex]2x=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Solve for x, we get,
[tex]\Rightarrow x=\frac{2}{3 \times 2}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Thus, Selena lives [tex]x=\frac{1}{3}[/tex] mile far from school.
