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

Answer 1

To find the ascent rate in kilometers per hour (kph), we need to find the total distance travelled in 1 hour.

The hiker ascended 3 over 4 of a kilometer in 1 over 16 of an hour, which means the hiker ascended (3/4) / (1/16) = (3/4) * (16/1) = 12 kilometers in 1 hour.

Therefore, the hiker's ascent rate was 12 kilometers per hour (kph).

Answer 2

If three dozen muffins cost $9, what is the cost per muffin?

Answer 3

There are 3 x 12 = 36 muffins in three dozens.
So, the cost per muffin is $9/36 = $0.25.
