Question

A hiker ascended 3/4
of a kilometer in 1/16
of an hour. What was the mountain hiker's ascent rate in kilometers per hour (kph)?(1 point)
Responses

12 kph

Answer 1

To find the ascent rate in kilometers per hour, we need to divide the distance ascended (3/4 kilometer) by the time it took (1/16 hour).

Distance / Time = Rate
(3/4 kilometer) / (1/16 hour) = (3/4 kilometer) x (16/1 hour) = 12 kilometer/hour

Therefore, the mountain hiker's ascent rate is 12 kph.
