    Eliza travels 54 minutes.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's use the variable r to represent the number of minutes Ricky travles to school.

    Eliza travels 6 times as many minutes as Ricky, so Eliza travels 6r minutes.

    Altogether, they travel r + 6r minutes, or 7r minutes.

    We are told they travel 63 minutes altogether, so 7r must equal 63.

    7r = 63

    Divide both sides by 7.

    7r/7 = 63/7

    r = 9

    Ricky travels 9 minutes.

    Eliza travels 6r minutes.

    6r = 6 * 9 minutes = 54 minutes

    Eliza travels 54 minutes.
