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

Mai lives 384 miles away from the mountains

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent distance between Mai's house and mountains and r represent Mai's rate while going to mountains.

We have been given that there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip to mountains took 8 hours.

We are also told that when Mai drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 6 hours. Her average rate was 16 miles per hour faster on the trip home.

Upon equating equation (1) and equation (2), we will get:

Upon substituting in equation (1), we will get:

Therefore, Mai lives 384 miles away from the mountains.
