Answer:
d=360 miles
Donna lives 360 miles from the mountains.
Explanation:
Conceptual analysis
We apply the formula to calculate uniform moving distance[
d=v*t Formula (1)
d: distance in miles
t: time in hours
v: speed in miles/hour
Development of problem
The distance Donna traveled to the mountains is equal to the distance back home, equal to d,then,we pose the kinematic equations for d, applying formula 1:
travel data to the mountains: t₁= 8 hours , v=v₁
d= v₁*t₁=8*v₁ Equation (1)
data back home : t₂=4hours , v=v₂=v₁+45
d=v₂*t₂=(v₁+45)*4=4v₁+180 Equation (2)
Equation (1)=Equation (2)
8*v₁=4v₁+180
8*v₁-4v₁=180
4v₁=180
v₁=180÷4=45 miles/hour
we replace v₁=45 miles/hour in equation (1)
d=8hour*45miles/hour
d=360 miles
Answer: it will move to the left
