From the values in the table, we can multiply the speed by the time to find out the amount of miles she travels a day. This is shown below:

30 mph * 2.5 hours = 75 miles
40 mph * 1.875 hours = 75 miles
50 mph * 1.5 hours = 75 miles
60 mph * 1.25 hours = 75 miles 

Therefore, she travels 75 miles to work. Given a speed of 24 mph, we divide 75 miles by 24 to find out how long it takes her to travel that far:

75 miles / 24 mph = 3.125 hours

Based on the distance that Paula travels to work, and the constant speed she uses, the trip will take her 3.125 hours.

How long does Paula take to get to work?

First find the distance she travels:

= Rate x Time

= 30 x 2.5

= 75 miles

The time taken on this particular day will be:

= Distance / Speed

= 75 / 24

= 3.125 hours
