let the distance b x km
time taken at 4 km/h = x/4
time taken at 5 km/h = x/5
but the difference in those two times is 9 minutes
or 9/60 hrs = 3/20 hrs
x/4- x/5 = 3/20
times 20, the LCD
4x - 4x = 3
x = 3
She lives 3 km from school
time taken at 4 km/h = x/4
time taken at 5 km/h = x/5
but the difference in those two times is 9 minutes
