Is it *
 
"12 km every hour" = "12 km per hour" = 12 km/hr.
 
Here the speed of horse is 12 km/hr.
Speed = distance / time
Just substitute the values in the above equation to get the time required.
 
Thank you very much :)
 
Isnt it t=d/v ? Cause its asking how long will it take to travel... I am kinda confused i solve it and i got 41.66hr hehe :)
