Final answer:

The museum is 0.54 miles from the school, determined by multiplying the distance from the school to the library (0.9 miles) by 0.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking how far the museum is from the school if the library is 0.9 miles from the school and the museum is 0.6 times the distance from the school as the library. To solve for the distance to the museum, we can set up the following equation where d represents the distance from the museum to the school:

d = 0.6 × 0.9

Now we perform the multiplication:

d = 0.54 miles

So, the museum is 0.54 miles away from the school.
