Question

A car travels 1/6 of the distance between two cities in 3/5 of an hour. At this rate, what fraction of the distance between the two cities can the car travel in one hour and 13/30 is wrong please help me :)

Answer 1

`(5)/(18)`

Explanation:

Distance traveled by a car between two cities = 1/6 distance

Time taken to travel between the two cities = 3/5 hours

Therefore, to find how much of the distance the car can travel in 1 hour, we need to divide the given distance by the given time to get:

(
`(1)/(6)`) ÷ (
`(3)/(5)`)

Change the later fraction to its reciprocal to solve:

`(1)/(6)` ×
`(5)/(3)` =
`(5)/(18)`

Therefore, in one hour, the car can travel 5/18 of the distance.
