Answer:

the total distance walked is 20 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total distance he walked is shown below:

Let us assume the total distance walked be d

Now the total time would be

Total time = (d ÷ 2) ÷ 8 + (d ÷ 2) ÷ 5 = 3.25

d ÷ 16 + d ÷ 10 = 3.25

(5d + 8d) ÷ 80=3.25

13d = 260

d = 20 km

Hence, the total distance walked is 20 km
