Yan is somewhere between his home and the stadium. To get to the stadium he can walk directly to the stadium, or else he can walk home and then ride his bicycle to the stadium. He rides 7 times as fast as he walks, and both choices require the same amount of time. What is the [ratio](https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Ratio) of Yan's distance from his home to his distance from the stadium?
$\mathrm{(A)}\ \frac 23\qquad \mathrm{(B)}\ \frac 34\qquad \mathrm{(C)}\ \frac 45\qquad \mathrm{(D)}\ \frac 56\qquad \mathrm{(E)}\ \frac 78$
Let the distance from Yan's initial position to the stadium be $a$ and the distance from Yan's initial position to home be $b$. We are trying to find $b/a$, and we have the following identity given by the problem:
\begin{align*}a &= b + \frac{a+b}{7}\\ \frac{6a}{7} &= \frac{8b}{7} \Longrightarrow 6a = 8b\end{align*}
Thus $b/a = 6/8 = 3/4$ and the answer is $\mathrm{(B)}\ \frac{3}{4}$
Note: The identity can be given from an application of $t=\frac dr$.
