A hiker ascended 3/4 of a kilometer in 1/16 of an hour. What was the mountain hiker's ascent rate in kilometers per hour (kph)?(1 point) Responses 12 kph 12 kph 3 kph 3 kph 16 kph 16 kph 9 kph
To find the ascent rate, we need to divide the distance ascended by the time taken.
Distance ascended = 3/4 kilometer
Time taken = 1/16 hour
Ascent rate = Distance/Time
= (3/4 kilometer) / (1/16 hour)
= (3/4) * (16/1) kilometer/hour
= 12 kilometer/hour
Therefore, the mountain hiker's ascent rate is 12 kph.
