Answer:

She lives 1/5 miles away from the library

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the distance that Sheila

lives from the library

From the question, we are told she lives 1/3 as far as Doreen

So what we have to do in this case is to simply multiply the distances

we have this as:

1/3 * 3/5 = 1/5
