rode their horses through the imposing forest and covered 16 miles in 3 hours. At the tree line, they slowed to half that pace. How long did it take them to travel the remaining 20 miles?
:
Speed at the slower pace = (1/2)* (16/3) = (16/6 = (8/3) mph
:
Time to travel 20 mi; 20 divided by (8/3)
:
Invert dividing fraction, and mult.
20 * 3/8 = 60/8 = 7.5 hrs to cover the last 20 mi
