a ferry traveled 1/7 of the distance between two parts in 4/7 of an hour. the ferry travels at a constant rate at this rate how far will the ferry travel in one hour

Question

mixed number or in simplest form

Answer 1

To find how far the ferry will travel in one hour, we can set up a ratio.

The ferry traveled 1/7 of the distance in 4/7 of an hour. This can be represented as a ratio:

Distance / Time = (1/7) / (4/7)

Simplifying, we find:

Distance / Time = 1/4

This tells us that in 4/7 of an hour, the ferry travels 1/7 of the distance.

To find how far the ferry will travel in one hour, we can set up the proportion as:

1 hour x (Distance / Time) = 1 x 1/4 = 1/4

So, the ferry will travel 1/4 of the distance in one hour, which is the answer in its simplest form.
