Answer: 0.8 (no units included)

Explanation:

D = R*T

You need to rearrange the equation in-order to find time so you'll new equation will look like this:

T = D/R

Now Solve for T

T = 16.2 kilometers / 21 kilometers per hour

T ≈ 0.7714 hours

T ≈ 0.8

So, the trip took approximately 0.8 hours.
