Answer:

288 miles

Explanation:

Time taken with traffic = 9 hours

Time taken without traffic = 4 hours

Speed with traffic = x mph

Speed without traffic = x+40 mph

Distance = Speed × time

Distance travelled in 9 hours

9x

Distance travelled in 4 hours

4(x+40)

Since both the distances are same

9x-4(x+40)=0\\\Rightarrow 9x-4x-160=0\\\Rightarrow 5x-160=0\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{160}{5}\\\Rightarrow x=32\ mph

Speed with traffic = 32 mph

Distance travelled = 9×32 = 288 miles

∴ Shen lives 288 miles from the mountains

Groups with which an individual feels a sense of membership, belonging, and identity are called ____, and groups with which an i
zhuklara [117]

Answer: in-groups and out-groups

Explanation: In-group is a group where two or more individuals who interact with themselves, share the same traits and to which an individual has a feeling of being united, in membership, belonging and close similarities.

Out-group is, therefore, a social group whereby the person doesn't have a feeling of being united, in membership, belonging and close similarities. However, there is always a certainty that individuals will tend to choose and have a natural liking and understanding for their in-group over the out-group.
