Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf Amir}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine who takes the longest time to walk 12 km, we need to compare the time taken by Ron and Amir.

First, let's convert both their times to the same unit, minutes.

Ron's Time:

Ron takes 4 hours and 10 minutes.

As there are 60 minutes per hour, to convert Ron's time to minutes, multiply the number of hours by 60 and add the 10 minutes:

[tex]\sf Ron's \; time = 4\; hours + 10\; minutes \\\\Ron's \; time = 4 \; hours \times 60 \; minutes/hour + 10\; minutes \\\\Ron's \; time = 240 \; minutes + 10\; minutes \\\\Ron's \; time = 250\; minutes[/tex]

So, Ron takes 250 minutes to walk 12 km.

Amir's Time:

Amir takes 270 minutes.

Comparison:

  • Ron: 250 minutes
  • Amir: 270 minutes

Since 270 minutes is greater than 250 minutes, Amir takes the longest time.
