If you walk at a pace of 2 miles per hour for 5 hours, you should have walked 10 miles. You would be 2 miles away from your base camp. 

Answer:

22 miles (North)        

Explanation:

Given:

velocity = 2 miles per hour (towards North)

Time taken = 5 hours

Displacement in 5 hours = velocity x time

                                        = ( 2 x 5 ) miles

                                        = 10 miles (North wards)

Initial displacement from the base of the camp = 12 miles (North wards)

Thus, location from the base camp after walking for 5 hours is:

12 miles + 10 miles = 22 miles
