According to the given information, the total distance from Jackie's house to her school is 0.8 miles.
Let's first find out how far Jackie rides her bike. It is mentioned that she rides 0.7 of the total distance. To calculate this, we multiply 0.7 by the total distance:
Distance Jackie rides = 0.7 * 0.8 miles = 0.56 miles
