Answer:

Road C is 1.5 mi east of Road A

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Road B is 4.6 mi east of Road A

Road C is 3.1 mi west of Road B

so

Road C is between Road A and Road B

AB=4.6 miles

CB=3.1 miles

AB=AC+CB

Solve for AC

AC=AB-CB

AC=4.6-3.1=1.5 miles

therefore

Road C is 1.5 mi east of Road A
