If she travels 16 miles in one hour, and an hour has 60 minutes, then she travels 16 * 50%2F60 in 50 minutes. We'll reduce the fraction.
16 * 5%2F6 = 131%2F3
In one hour, she travels 16 miles. In 50 minutes, she travels 131%2F3 miles. Add them together to find how far she travels in 1 hour 50 minutes.
