$0.75 " mile" = 3/4 "mile"$

To set up a mathematical equation from a word statement, organize what you know and identify what you want to find out.

We want to know the distance between two points, so let’s call it $'x’$ We are given a ratio of the distance in terms of a third point – the store.

The first distance is set, $0.25 "miles"$ .

The second is that distance as a fraction of the desired distance:

$0.25 = 1/3 * x$

Solve this for the desired answer:

$x = 0.75$ miles
