Explanation:
________________________________________________
(1/6) / (3/7 hr) = x/ 1 hr ;
→ (1/6) / (3/7) = x ;
↔ (1/6) / (3/7) = x ;
→ (1/6) * (7/3) = x ;
The "3" cancels to a "1", and the "6" cancels to a "2" ;
→ { since: " 6 ÷ 3 = 2" ; and since: " 3 ÷ 3 = 1 "} ;

→ And we can rewrite as:
→ (1/2) * (7/1) = (1 * 7) / (2 * 1) = 7/2 ;

The answer is: " [tex] \frac{7}{2} [/tex] " .

Note: The question asks, "At this rate, what "FRACTION" of the distance...?" ;
→ As such, we leave the answer in the "fraction" form.
