A lamp is twice as far in front of a plane mirror as a person is. Light

Question:

A lamp is twice as far in front of a plane mirror as a person is. Light from the lamp reaches the person via two paths, reflected and direct. It strikes the mirror at a 30.0° angle of incidence and reflects from it before reaching the person. The total time for the light to travel this path includes the time to travel to the mirror and the time to travel from the mirror to the person. The light also travels directly to the person without reflecting. Find the ratio of the total travel time along the reflected path to the travel time along the direct path.
