Question

a ferry traveled ⅙ of the distance between two points 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

We have the next information

1/6 of the distance in 3/7 of the hour

x of the distance in 1 hour

x is the fraction of the distance in 1 hour

`x=((1)/(6))/((3)/(7))`

`x=(1\cdot7)/(6\cdot3)=(7)/(18)`

the fraction 7/18 of the distance in one hour
