Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the problem

Ezra jogged 5 kilometers in $\frac{5}{12}$ of an hour. We need to find his speed in kilometers per hour.

Step 2: Use the formula for speed

Speed is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \] Substitute the given values: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{5}{\frac{5}{12}} \]

Step 3: Simplify the expression

To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal: \[ \text{Speed} = 5 \times \frac{12}{5} \] Simplify: \[ \text{Speed} = 12 \]
