Annika's speed 12 minutes per kilometer
In other words, she walks at a speed of 1/12 kilometer per minute.
She has already waked 2.75 km
Let x = the additional # number of km she walks EAST before turning around.
This means the number of kilometers she will hike from this point = x + x + 2.75 kilometers
She must walk this distance in 45 minutes at a rate of 1/12 kilometer per minute
Distance = (rate)(time)
So, x + x + 2.75 = (1/12)(45)
2.75 + 2x = 3.75
2x = 1
x = 0.5
So, the TOTAL distance Annika walks EAST = 2.75 + 0.5 = 3.25
Answer: C
