so if she hike 12 km every 4 hours, how many km could she hike in 6 hours.
first u have to find the equation. 12 km=4hours
? =6hours
and then you have to multiply 12 km by 6 hours and divide the results by 4 which is 12×6÷4. the final answer will be 18 kilometers. I am pre sure this is the right answer. I hope it helped you

Answer:

18 kilometers

Explanation:

Given: Lashana notes that she hikes about 12 kilometers every 4 hours.

To find: At this rate how many kilometers she could hike in 6 hours.

Solution: It is given that Lashana hikes about 12 kilometers every 4 hours.

Now, to find how many kilometers she could hike in 6 hours, we need to find the ratio of Distance hiked to the time taken is


(Distance\,hiked)/(time\:taken) =(12)/(4)

Now, let she will hike x kilometers in 6 hours.

So, the ratio of distance hiked to the time taken is


(Distance\,hiked)/(time\:taken) =(x)/(5)

Now, on equating both the ratios we have,


(12)/(4) =(x)/(6)


\implies x=(12)/(4)*6


\implies x=18

Hence, she could hike 18 kilometers in 6 hours.
