To determine how many miles away The Dreamy Donut Shop is, we first need to find Cara's driving speed.
From the information provided:
- It takes Cara 30 minutes to drive 15 miles.
To find her speed in miles per minute, we divide the distance by the time: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{15 \text{ miles}}{30 \text{ minutes}} = 0.5 \text{ miles per minute} \]
Next, we know it takes her 6 minutes to drive to The Dreamy Donut Shop. We can use her speed to find the distance to the donut shop: \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 0.5 \text{ miles per minute} \times 6 \text{ minutes} \]
Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Distance} = 3 \text{ miles} \]
Therefore, The Dreamy Donut Shop is 3 miles away from her location.
