Answer 1

120 minutes / 2 hours

Explanation:

time = distance / velocity

`time = (24)/((6/30)) \\time = 120 minutes`

Answer 2

Explanation:

It will take you 8 hours to ski a distance of 24 miles at a speed of 6 miles per 30 minutes. This is because you will have to travel the 24 miles at a rate of 6 miles every 30 minutes, so you will need to travel for 4 hours at this rate to cover the full distance. Thus, it will take you 8 hours to ski the full 24 miles at a rate of 6 miles per 30 minutes.
