To get from her home to a friend's house, Georgia must go past a school, then a post office.


Signs tell Georgia that the distance she walks from home to the school is 7/8 mile, and the distance from the school to the post office is 5/6 mile.

The whole trip takes Georgia 42 minutes. If Georgia can walk a mile in $18$ minutes, then how many miles is the distance from the post office to her friend's house?

Respuesta :

The time it takes for a certain object or person, in this case Georgia, to travel from one place to another is the quotient of the distance and speed. Such that the given above can be best represented by the equation below,     
                42 minutes = (7/8 + 5/6 + x) / 1/18
The value of x from the equation is approximately 0.625 miles. 

Answer:

0.625
