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:
10/9ths or 1& 1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 + 7/9 =
× 9/9. × 3/3
9/27 + 21/27 = 30/27
OR 1 & 1/9
The history museum is less that 9 4/5 miles. 9/10 means that the 9 3/4 mile is broken up into 10 equal parts and the distance to the museum is only 9 of those parts. 9 3/4 (9.8) divided by 10 equals 98/100 (.98)
98/100 x 9 = 882/100 or 8.82
Justin's house is 8.82 miles from the museum.
