Person A's house is 8km from the library, and his friend B's house is in the opposite direction. Suppose it takes person A 3h to walk to B's house and back, and 1h to walk to the library and back, how far is B's house to the library (assuming person A always walks with constant speed)?

Answer: 16km (involves fractions because you use ratio of time and ratio of distances)
