Question

A student walks one fourth mile from her home to the store on her way to a friends house. If the store is one third of the way to her friends house, how far is her friends house from her way home ?

Answer 1

three fourth mile=
`(3)/(4) mile`

Explanation:

Given

• She walks
  `(1)/(4)` mile from her house to store
• The distance from house to store is one third of distance to friends house

⇒

`\text{Distance from house to store}=(1)/(3) * \text{Distance from house to friends house}\\ \text{Distance from house to friends house}= 3* (1)/(4)\\ \text{Distance from house to friends house}=(3)/(4)`

Distance from her house to friends house
`(3)/(4)` miles
