Isabel drove to the mountains last weekend. There was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 8 hours. When Isabel 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 Isabel live from the mountains?

(no rounding)

About 7 hours so you do 8 plus 6 which equals 14 and then you divide 14 by 2 and you get 7 your welcome.
