Question

Selena walk from home to school each morning and back home each afternoon altogether she walks 2/3 mile each day how far does Selena live from school

Answer 1

1/3 miles. 2/3 divided by 2 = 1/3.

Answer 2

Answer:

Selena lives $x=\frac{1}{3}$ 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 = $\frac{2}{3}$

Thus,

$2x=\frac{2}{3}$

Solve for x, we get,

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{2}{3 \times 2}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{3}$

Thus, Selena lives $x=\frac{1}{3}$ mile far from school.
