    The distance from his house to the metro is 3.27 miles

    Explanation:

    Daniel lives 27 miles from work.

    Total distance traveled by Daniel = 27 miles

    He rides his bike at 8 mph to the metro station

    Let the distance to metro station be s miles and time taken be t hours.

    We have

    s = 8t

    He then takes the metro to work, which travels at 39 mph. If he spends 12 minutes less on the metro than on his bike

    Time taken = t + 12 minutes = (t + 0.2) hours

    Remaining distance = 27 - s

    27 - s = 39 ((t + 0.2)

    27 - 8 t = 39t + 7.8

    47t = 19.2

    t = 0.409 hours

    s = 8 x 0.409 = 3.27 miles

    The distance from his house to the metro is 3.27 miles
