To determine if Colin is correct in saying that he and Bryan walked the same distance, we need to compare the distances they each walked.

1. **Convert the distances to a common fraction:**
   - Colin walked $$ \frac{9}{12} $$ mile.
   - Bryan walked $$ \frac{3}{4} $$ mile.

2. **Convert $$ \frac{3}{4} $$ to twelfths:**
   - To convert $$ \frac{3}{4} $$ to a fraction with a denominator of 12, we can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 3:
   $$
   \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{9}{12}
   $$

3. **Compare the distances:**
   - Colin's distance: $$ \frac{9}{12} $$
   - Bryan's distance: $$ \frac{9}{12} $$

Since both distances are equal, Colin is correct in saying that they both walked the same distance.

Thus, the final conclusion is that Colin and Bryan both walked $$ \frac{9}{12} $$ mile, which is the same distance.
Colin and Bryan both walked $$ \frac{9}{12} $$ mile, so Colin is correct.
