10 steps = 10 s
1 step = 1 s
20,000 steps = 20,000 x 1 s
= 20, 000 s
3600 s = 1 hr
20,000 s = 1/3600 * 20,000
= 20, 000/3600
= 200/36
= 50/9
5 5/9 hr

10 steps/every 10sec
is the same as
1 step in 1sec
___________________________
Therefore to do 20,000 steps takes 20,000 sec
Divide 20,000secs by 60 to change to minutes, This gives 333.33 mins approx.
Divide 333.33 mins by 60 to change to hours. This gives 5.56 hours approx.
So, rounded to one decimal place, the answer is 5.6 hours.

One step in a second, 20,000 steps = 20,000 seconds = 5.6 hours. You made a slight rounding error but otherwise did it right.
