Question

John, a hiker, walked 12 kilometers in 6 hours. He needs to cover 32 more kilometers. How many hours will it take John to cover the remaining distance? Assume that he will keep the same walking pace. A. 15 B. 18 C. 16 D. 13

Answer 1

12 km = 6 hours
1 km = 0.5 hour
32 km = 0.5 x 32 = 16 hours (Answer C)

He needs another 16 hours to complete the remaining 32 more kilometers.

Answer 2

Option C. 16 hours

Explanation:

John, a hiker walked 12 kilometers in 6 hours

Formula to get average speed =
`(miles)/(hour)`

Average speed of John =
`(12)/(6)` = 2 km/hour

He needs to cover 32 more kilometers at the same walking speed.

John will take time to cover 32 km =
`(32)/(2)` = 16 hours

John would take 16 hours to cover the remaining distance.
