To find the ascent rate in kilometers per hour (kph), we need to divide the distance ascended by the time taken in hours.
The distance ascended is 3/4 of a kilometer and the time taken is 1/16 of an hour.
To divide 3/4 by 1/16, we can multiply 3/4 by the reciprocal of 1/16, which is 16/1.
(3/4) * (16/1) = (3 * 16) / (4 * 1) = 48 / 4 = 12
Therefore, the mountain hiker's ascent rate is 12 kph.
The distance ascended is 3/4 of a kilometer and the time taken is 1/16 of an hour.
To divide 3/4 by 1/16, we can multiply 3/4 by the reciprocal of 1/16, which is 16/1.
(3/4) * (16/1) = (3 * 16) / (4 * 1) = 48 / 4 = 12
Therefore, the mountain hiker's ascent rate is 12 kph.
