Answer 1

7/18 is the answer to this question, your welcome.

Answer 2

Ferry rate =
`(7)/(18)` miles/hour

Solution:

Ferry travelled
`(1)/(6)` miles of distance between two ports in
`(3)/(7)` hours

Rate of Ferry is equal to distance travelled over time taken.

Rate of ferry =
`((1)/(6))/((3)/(7))`

Now we calculate it.

Rate of ferry =
`(1)/(6)/ (3)/(7)` miles/hour

Rate of ferry =
`(7)/(18)` miles/hour
