12 kph
3 kph

9 kph
To find the mountain hiker's ascent rate in kilometers per hour (kph), we divide the distance ascended (3/4 kilometer) by the time taken (1/16 hour).
So, 3/4 kilometer divided by 1/16 hour is equal to (3/4)/(1/16) = (3/4) * (16/1) = 12 kilometers per hour.
Therefore, the mountain hiker's ascent rate is 12 kph.
