Answer: 4.5 minutes.


Explanation:

1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

- Erica runs
(1)/(6)km in a minute.

- The school is
(3)/(4)km away from her home.

2. Therefore, to solve the exercise you must multiply
(3)/(4)km=0.75km by 1 minute and divide this by
(1)/(6)km=0.166km, as following:


x=((0.75km)(1min))/((0.166km))\\x=4.5min

3. Therefore, the result is 4.5 minutes.
