2/5 + 2/4 = 8/20 + 10/20 = 18/20 = 9/10
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.
Answer:
a = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
+ 4 = 6 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
= 2 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )
a = 6
