Answer:

<h2>6 Hours</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>When Lafayette led the column, the troops marched 24 miles in 6 hours. </u>

Distance = 24

Time = 6

Speed = Distance/Time = 4

<u>Then he left and the troops reduced their speed by 1 mile per hour.</u>

Speed = 3

<u>How long did it take them to march the last 18 miles.</u>

Speed = 3

Distance = 18

Time = Distance/Speed = 6

6 Hours
