Answer:

The fraction of the distance between the two cities, the car can travel in one hour is 5/18.

Explanation:

1. Let's check the information given to resolve the question:

Time of the trip of the car between two cities, so far = 3/5 of an hour

Distance of the trip of the car between two cities, so far = 1/6 of the distance

What fraction of the distance between the two cities can the car travel in 1 hour?

2. Let's find out the solution of the question:

Time of the trip of the car between two cities, so far = 3/5 of an hour = 3/5 * 60 minutes = 36 minutes

Fraction of the distance between the two cities the car can travel in one hour = (60 * 1/6)/ 36

Fraction of the distance between the two cities the car can travel in one hour = (60/6)/ 36 = 10 /36 = 5/18 (Dividing by 2 the numerator and the denominator)

The fraction of the distance between the two cities, the car can travel in one hour is 5/18.
