Answer:
[tex]\text{Distance between Selena's home and school}=\frac{1}{3}\text{ mile}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Selena Walks from home to school each morning and back home each afternoon. Altogether she walks 2/3 mile each day. We are asked to find the distance between Selena's home and school.
To find the distance between Selena's home and school, we will divide total distance covered by Selena by 2 because distance between Selena's home and school would be half of the total distance.
[tex]\text{Distance between Selena's home and school}=\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{2}[/tex]
Using property [tex]\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{c}=\frac{a}{bc}[/tex], we will get:
[tex]\text{Distance between Selena's home and school}=\frac{2}{3\times 2}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Distance between Selena's home and school}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Therefore, Selena's school is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] miles away from her home.
