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?

of the distance

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a ferry traveled of the distance between two ports in hours.

In order to calculate what fraction of the distance between the two ports can the ferry travel in one hour we can do the following reasoning :

The rate of the ferry is the same at any time.

The ferry will travel of the distance in hours.

If we divide each fraction by 3 ⇒

and

We do this to obtain a ''1'' in the numerator of the second fraction (the hours fraction). Now, we can say that :

The ferry will travel of the distance in hours.

Finally, we multiply each fraction by 7 (in order to obtain the distance for 1 hour) ⇒

and

We found out that the ferry will travel of the distance in 1 hour.

rectangle: 9 1/8 x 4 1/9 = 37 37/72in

parallelogram: b times h= 10.3 x 6.2 = 63.86

trapezoid: a+b/2 times h= 42.5

volume of prism: l times w times h= 36

answer is : muchas/tipicas

have a nice day!
