The speed of the second pedestrian is 5 kilometers per hour.

At what speed did the second pedestrian walk?

Let's say that the speed of the second pedestrian is S.

We know that the other pedestrian walks at a speed of 4km/h, and they (together) travel a distance of 27km in 3 hours, then we can write the linear equation:

(4km/h + S)*3h = 27km

It says that both pedestrians work, together, a total of 27km in 3 hours.

Now we can solve that linear equation for S, to do this, we need to isolate S in the left side of the equation.

4km/h + S = 27km/3h = 9 km/h

S = 9km/h - 4km/h = 5km/h

The speed of the second pedestrian is 5 kilometers per hour.
