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.
20% because you’d take 1/5 of 100 to find the percentage
Answer:
y = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given x is inversely proportional to
, then the equation relating them is
y =
← k is the constant of proportion
To find k use the condition when x = 8, y = 2
2 =
=
=
( multiply both sides by 3 )
6 = k
y =
← equation of proportion
When x = 15 , then
y =
=
=
=
= 1.5
