Answer

Time taken to walk 16 km = 5 hours.

Time taken to walk 1 km = (516) hours[Less distance, Less time]\Big(\dfrac{5}{16}\Big) \text{ hours} \quad \text{[Less distance, Less time]}

Time taken to walk 11.2 km = (516×11.2) hours[More distance, More time]\Big(\dfrac{5}{16} \times 11.2\Big) \text{ hours} \quad \text{[More distance, More time]}

= (5×11.216)\Big(\dfrac{5 \times 11.2}{16}\Big) hours

= 5616\dfrac{56}{16} hours

= 3.5 hours (or 3 hours 30 minutes).

Time taken to walk 11.2 km = 3 hours 30 minutes
