Answer:1m

Step-by-step explanation: if you go 3m in one direction then you turn around and go in the direction that you came from .you are adding back to those miles that you lost so now you are reversing your miles so really you are only 1 mile away from you starting point

Answer:

1 mile more east there were she was previously.

Explanation:

By doing the 4 miles east she undoes the miles west. So, she is one mile east. because she only had 3 miles west, 4 - 3 is 1.
