Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

- Erica runs [tex]\frac{1}{6}km[/tex] in a minute.

- The school is [tex]\frac{3}{4}km[/tex] away from her home.

2. Therefore, to solve the exercise you must multiply [tex]\frac{3}{4}km=0.75km[/tex] by 1 minute and divide this by  [tex]\frac{1}{6}km=0.166km[/tex], as following:

[tex]x=\frac{(0.75km)(1min)}{(0.166km)}\\x=4.5min[/tex]

3. Therefore, the result is 4.5 minutes.
