Yes, but 8 can actually go into 20 2 and 1/2 times. So it would be 7.2+7.2+1/2(7.2) .

So, 8 digital photos took 7.2 minutes. So we'll say that we have 2 sets of 8 digital photos this should take 14.4 minutes. Now it wants us to find how long it would take to upload 20 photos. So far we have only cover 16 so we need to find how long it will take to upload only 4. So it says that it takes 7.2 minutes to upload 8. So it should only take 3.6 minutes to upload 4. So we can say that it takes a total of 7.2 minutes + 7.2 minutes+ 3.6 minutes= The amount of time it that is required to upload 20 photos.
