we know that

Olivia walks ---------> 1\4 of a mile to school

2/3 correspond to ------> 0.6666------> 66.67 %
3/3 correspond to--------> 1--------> 100%
so
if (2/3)-----------> 1/4 mile
(3/3)-------------> x
x=(1/4)/(2/3)-----> x=(1/4)*3/2-----> x=3/8------> x-0.375 miles

the answer is
Ray walks to school 3/8 miles (0.375 miles)
