Question

A ferry traveled 1/6 of the distance between 2 ports in 3/7 hour. The ferry travels at a constant rate. At this rate, what fraction of the distance between the two ports can the ferry travel in one hour?

Answer 1

`(3)/(7) \text { of an hour = } (1)/(6) \text { of the journey}`

To find 1 hour, divide both side of the equation by 3/7:


`\text {1 hour = } (1)/(6) / (3)/(7) \text { of the journey}`


`\text {1 hour = } (1)/(6) * (7)/(3) \text { of the journey}`


`\text {1 hour = } (7)/(18) \text { of the journey}`
