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?

Respuesta :

[tex] \dfrac{3}{7} \text { of an hour = } \dfrac{1}{6} \text { of the journey}[/tex]

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

[tex]\text {1 hour = } \dfrac{1}{6} \div \dfrac{3}{7} \text { of the journey}[/tex]

[tex]\text {1 hour = } \dfrac{1}{6} \times \dfrac{7}{3} \text { of the journey}[/tex]

[tex]\text {1 hour = } \dfrac{7}{18} \text { of the journey}[/tex]
