Answer 1

32+16 miles is 48 miles within those 12 hours

Answer 2

Answer:total distance covered at the end of 12 hours would be 48 miles

Explanation:

If you run for 4 hours at 8 miles an hour. It means that your speed while running is 8 miles an hour.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by running for 4 hours would be

4 × 8 = 32 miles

You walk 8 hours at 2 miles an hour. It means that your speed while walking is 2 miles an hour.

Distance covered by walking for 8 hours would be

2 × 8 = 16 miles

Distance that you would have covered after 12 hours would be

32 + 16 = = 48 miles
