A fairy traveled 1/6 of the distance between two ports in 3/7 hours what fraction of the distance between the two ports can the ferry travel in one hour

Respuesta :

Answer:

(1/6) / (3/7) = x / 1......1/6 distance to 3/7 hr = x distance to 1 hr

cross multiply

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

3/7x = 1/6

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

x = 1/6 * 7/3

x = 7/18 <=== 7/18 of the distance in 1 hr

i hope this helped, have a great day.

The fraction of the distance between the two ports the ferry can travel in one hour is 7/18 of the distance per hour.

What is a Fraction?

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25.

Given that a fairy travelled 1/6 of the distance between two ports in 3/7 hours. Therefore, the fraction of the distance between the two ports the ferry can travel in one hour is,

Fraction = (1/6) Distance / (3/7) hours

              = (1×7)/(6×3) of the Distance per hour

              = 7/18 of the distance per hour
