I am not sure though. Can you please help me with this.
the speed in kilometers per hour that George needs to walk in order to reach his goal
your answer is B
Sorry no
I think its b
Your math is correct, but your choice is not
Think of (1/2) as a unit, like books, dollars, etc
9 of them divided by one of them is 9
9/2 km is the goal
1/2 is each trip
So, 9 is the number of trips needed to reach the goal: (D)
