Answer:

27 miles

Explanation:

Find the rate or speed that Shawn hikes at. Find this reduced to lowest terms.

speed = distance / time

speed = 12 miles / 4h

speed = 3miles / h

Every hour, Shawn hikes 3 miles.

Multiply speed by time to find distance.

3mph X 9h = 27 miles

Therefore Shawn could hikes 27 miles in 9 hours.
