Let us say distance between Eugenia's home and school is x miles.
Speed of Eugenia when she walked from home to school = 3 mph
Speed of Eugenia when she walked from school to home = 7 mph
Total time taken = 45 minutes or 0.75 hours
We know that the speed distance formula is given by:
Time taken by Eugenia when she walked from home to school = x/3 hours
Time taken by Eugenia when she walked from school to home = x/7 hours
Total time taken = x/3+x/7
So forming an equation we have,
Taking lcd of 7 and 3 as 21,
10x=15.75
Dividing both sides by 10 , we have
x= 1.575
Answer: So we can say that the distance between Eugenia's house and school is 1.575 miles.
