Answer 1

distance of bank from yuri's house=(5/6)*(2/5)=2/6=1/3 mile

Answer 2

`The\ bank\ from\ yuris\ house\ is (1)/(3)\ miles.`

Explanation:

As given

`The\ store\ is\ (5)/(6)\ mile\ from\ yuri's\ house.`

`The\ bank\ is\ (2)/(5)\ the\ distance\ from\ yuri's\ house\ to\ the\ store.`

Than

`The\ bank\ from\ yuris\ house = (2)/(5)* (distance\ from\ yuri's\ house\ to\ the\ store) }`

`The\ bank\ from\ yuris\ house = (2* 5)/(5* 6)`

`The\ bank\ from\ yuris\ house = (10)/(30)`

`The\ bank\ from\ yuris\ house = (1)/(3)\ miles`

`Therefore\ the\ bank\ from\ yuris\ house\ is (1)/(3)\ miles`
