    We first need to find the distance.

    The information about Mike will provide the distance we need to answer the question about Pedro.

    We will use D = rt

    Mike:

    (6.5) ((17/5) = D

    22.1 miles = D

    Pedro:

    D = rt

    22.1 = (19/5) t

    We need to find t.

    22.1 : 3.8 = t

    5.8157894737 = t

    We now round off as instructed.

    5.82 = t

    It took Pedro 5.82 hours to reach the lake.
