    Answer: 450 metres

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First convert the 10 minutes to seconds, which is 10*60 = 600 seconds

    Then, we know she is 3 times faster going to the store than coming back. We can name the time as "t".

    Therefore: 3*t + t = 600

    4*t = 600

    t = 600/4

    t = 150 seconds

    Knowing the time it took her to go to the store for the first trip, we can calculate the distance using the speed formula:

    Speed = distance / time

    So we can re-arrange the formula to find the distance:

    Distance = Speed * Time

    Therefore,

    Distance = (3 m/s) * (150 s)

    Distance = 450 m

    Considering that the distance is the same for both trips.
