Answer:

His school is 1.5 miles away :)

Step-by-step explanation:

6/4 = 1.5 miles

1.5 miles means his house is 1.5 miles from his school

Check the answer (1.5 times 3) = 4.5 miles so his job is 4.5 miles away.

4.5 + 1.5 = 6 miles

The distance between Salvador's house and his school is 1.5 miles

Let :

  • Distance from house to school = d

Therefore;

  • Distance from job to house = 3d

Then ;

  • Distance from job to school = 6 miles

Since, house is in between job and school :

  • Distance from job to school = d + 3d
  • 6 miles = 4d
  • d = 6 ÷ 4 = 1.5 miles

The distance from house to school = d ; hence, distance between his house and school is 1.5 miles.
