A ferry traveled 1/6 of the distance between two 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?

First, we determine the speed of the ferry by dividing the distance by the time it took to cover that certain distance.

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

speed = 7/18

Then, the distance it will travel for an hour is calculated through the procedure below.

distance = (7/18hour) x (1 hour)

distance = 7/18

Therefore, after an hour, the ferry will be able to travel 7/18 of the distance between two ports.

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
