    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
