Answer:

5 hours

Explanation:

The relationship for distance, time, and speed is:
d=st , where d is the distance, s is the speed, and t is the time.

We are given the boy's speed is 4 kmph, so s = 4. We also know the distance is 20 km, so d = 20.

Then, rearranging the above formula, we have
t=(d)/(s) . We plug in the values of d and s into the equation to find t:


t = (d)/(s) =(20)/(4) =5

Thus, the answer is 5 hours.

Hope this helps!
