Layla loves to try out new bike trails in her area. Last week, it took her 24 minutes to ride a trail that is 6 miles long. Today, she kept the same pace when she rode an 8-mile trail.

How long did it take Layla to ride the trail today?

If Layla rode a 6-mile trail in 24 minutes, then her pace is 24 minutes / 6 miles = <<24/6=4>>4 minutes/mile.

If she kept the same pace, then it took Layla 4 minutes/mile * 8 miles = <<4*8=32>>32 minutes to ride the trail today. Answer: \boxed{32}.
