Sagot :

To determine the distance Samuel walks, we can use the formula for distance, which is given by:

[tex]\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Time} \][/tex]

In this problem, the rate at which Samuel is walking is 4 miles per hour (mph) and the time he walks is 3 hours.

So, plugging in these values:

[tex]\[ \text{Distance} = 4 \text{ mph} \times 3 \text{ hours} \][/tex]

When we multiply the rate and the time:

[tex]\[ \text{Distance} = 12 \text{ miles} \][/tex]

Therefore, Samuel walks a distance of 12 miles.

So, the correct answer is:

OC) 12 mi.
