Answer:

Let's see what to do buddy...

Explanation:


2 (3)/(5) miles = (10)/(5) + (3)/(5) \: miles = (13)/(5) \: miles \\

So Michael lives 13/5 miles away from the school.

_________________________________

Sarah lives 1/2 as long as Michael.

So the distance from the school of where Sarah's house located is 1/2 distance from the school of where Michael's house located.

Which means :


(13)/(5) / 2 = (13)/(5) * (1)/(2) = (13)/(10) \\

And we're done.

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.
