On May 8 2010 a team of kayakers set a record time of 5 hr 19min 17 sec to kayak across the length of Loch Ness,Scotland UK a distance of 20.5 miles.
If the kayakers were four times as far from the starting point as from the finish, how many miles had they traveled?

4%2F5*20.5 = 16.4 mi from the starting point
