To find the ascent rate in kilometers per hour, we need to divide the distance ascended by the time it took.

To convert 3/4 of a kilometer to kilometers per hour, we divide it by 1/16 of an hour:

(3/4) / (1/16) = (3/4) * (16/1) = (3 * 16)/(4 * 1) = 48/4 = 12 kilometers per hour.

Therefore, the mountain hiker's ascent rate was 12 kilometers per hour.
