Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Selena walks from home to school each morning and back home each afternoon

Altogether,she walks $\frac{2}{3}$ mile each day

To Find :how far dose Selena live from school

Solution:

Let the distance between the school and home be x

So, Distance traveled from home to school in morning=x

So, Distance traveled from school to home in afternoon =x

So, total distance traveled = x+x=2x

Since we are given that she walks $\frac{2}{3}$ mile each day

So,  $2x=\frac{2}{3}$

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

$x=\frac{2}{6}$

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

Hence Selena lives  $\frac{1}{3}$ miles  from school
