Answer:

1.25 hours

Explanation:

So if you walk at 5 mph without wind, it takes you 1 hour to cover a 5 mile distance since you travel at a speed of 5 every hour. (5 mph). with the wind, your speed is 4 miles per hour because the wind slows you down to 4/5ths of your normal speed. 4/5ths of 5 is 4. It takes 1.25 hours to walk with the wind because 5(miles)/4(mph) is 1.25 hours. Hope this helps bud!
