Answer:


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
