Solution

First, we need to find out how long it takes Layla to ride one mile. We can do this by dividing the total time she took to ride the 6-mile trail by the number of miles.

24 minutes ÷ 6 miles = 4 minutes per mile

Now that we know Layla rides at a pace of 4 minutes per mile, we can find out how long it took her to ride the 8-mile trail by multiplying the number of miles by her pace.

8 miles × 4 minutes per mile = 32 minutes

So, it took Layla 32 minutes to ride the 8-mile trail today.
