The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the time taken to cover 12 km at a speed of 4 km/h. We can use the formula for time: \[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \] Here, the distance is 12 km and the speed is 4 km/h. \[ \text{Time} = \frac{12 \text{ km}}{4 \text{ km/h}} = 3 \text{ hours} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the distance covered at a speed of 6 km/h in the same time. Now that we have the time, we can find out how far the person would travel at a speed of 6 km/h in the same time of 3 hours. We use the formula for distance: \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \] Here, the speed is 6 km/h and the time is 3 hours. \[ \text{Distance} = 6 \text{ km/h} \times 3 \text{ hours} = 18 \text{ km} \] ### Final Answer: The person would cover a distance of **18 km** if he walks at a speed of 6 km/h for the same time. ---
