Question

a ferry traveled 1/6 of the distance between two ports in 3/7 hour. The ferry travels at a constant rate.how much do the ferry travel in one hour

Answer 1

If you know what happened in 3/7 of a hour, you can multiply that value by 7/3 and find you what happens in a whole hour. If you prefer, you can visualize this using this proportion:

`(1)/(6)/ (3)/(7)=x/ 1`

Solving for x, we have

`x=(1)/(6)/(3)/(7)=(1)/(6)\cdot(7)/(3)=(7)/(18)`

Answer 2

1 hour = 7/18 of the distance between two ports

Explanation:

Given that:

In 3/7 hours distance traveled is 1/6

For finding distance in one hour, divide both sides by 7/3 so that 3/7 would be cancelled out:

3/7 * 7/3 hours = 1/6 * 7/3 distance

By simplifying:

1 hour = 7/18 of the distance between two ports

This means that in one hour 7/18 of the distance is covered between two ports.
