    The distance of Jane’s house is 3.12 miles.

    Total time spent by Jane during the journey

    The time spent by Jane during the journey is calculated as follows;
    from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM = 3 hours
    time  spent by Jane biking  = 3 hours – 90 minutes
                                                  = 3 hours – 1.5 hours
                                                  = 1.5 hours

    Distance between Jane and Marta’s house

    let the time taken during her first motion before coming back = t
    12t = 2.5(1.5 – t)
    12t = 3.75 – 2.5t
    14.5t = 3.75
    t = 3.75/14.5
    t = 0.26 hr
    distance = 12 miles/hr x 0.26 hr
    distance = 3.12 miles
    Thus, the distance of Jane’s house is 3.12 miles.
