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 1 hour? Enter your fraction in the space provided.

Answer 1

5/18

Explanation:

3/5 is 2/5 less than one whole

We need to find how much they traveled in 2/5 of an hour and add that to 1/6

In 1/5 of an hour, they traveled 1/18 of a mile

(1/18)*2=1/9

1/9+1/6=10/36

10/36=5/18

They traveled 5/18 in one hour
