Laura drove to the mountains last weekend. there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 8 hours. when laura drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 6 hours. if her average rate was 16 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does laura live from the mountains

I'm pretty sure it would be 96 miles away from the mountains because if you were to do 16 x 6 then you would get 96. It says 16 miles per hour on her way home so you just multiply the miles and hours and that's your answer . Answer = 96
