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:

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.
