Alright, lets get started.

Glacier moves through the Gasherbrum Mountains of Pakistan at a rate of 4 inches per day.

Means in 1 day,  glacier moves distance = 4 inches

In 1 year or say 365 days, glacier moves distance = [tex]365*4 = 1460[/tex] inches

As we know,  39370.1 inches = 1 kilometer

So, 1460 inches = [tex]\frac{1}{1460}*39370.1 =  0.037[/tex] kilometers

It means glacier will move 0.037 kilometers in 1 year.   :   Answer


As we know,  1 mile = 63360 inches

4 inches movement takes = 1 day

So, 63360 inches movement will take = [tex]\frac{1}{4} *63360 = 15840[/tex] days

Means 43 years 145 days    :   Answer

Hope it will help :)
