Answer:

The ferry can travel
of the distance between the two ports in one hour.

Explanation:

A ferry traveled
(1)/(6) of the distance between two ports in
(3)/(7) hour.

Suppose, the ferry traveled
of the distance between the two ports in one hour.

So, the equation according to the ratio of "distance" to "time" will be.......

$((1)/(6))/((3)/(7)) =(x)/(1) \\ \\ x=(1)/(6)* (7)/(3)= (7)/(18)$

Thus, the ferry can travel
of the distance between the two ports in one hour.
