Jonathon walks 12 km in 3 hours. If he walks at the same speed, how far will he walk in: 5 1/2 Hours.
So in one hour, Jonathon walks 4km. That's found by +12+km+%2F+3+hrs+=+x+%2F+1+hr+ solving for x, we find that x = 4. Now that we have km/h we use a similar equation to find how far he walks in 5 1/2 hours. +4+km+%2F+1+hrs+=+x+km+%2F+5.5+ solving for x, we find that Jonathon walks 22 km in 5 1/2 hours.
