Prancer's Walk

Sunday 1st December 2024

While Santa was busy delivering presents in Tran Towers, Prancer, one of his reindeer, went for a stroll to the base of Krimble Hill. Prancer then walked up the hill to see the view of Twinkle Town from the top. After enjoying the view, Prancer retraced his steps back to the Towers. His round trip took six hours. Prancer walked at an average of 4 km/h on level ground, 3 km/h uphill, and 6 km/h downhill. How far (in km) did Prancer walk?
