Respuesta :

Answer:

A) 4/33 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a distance = rate * time problem

We are given the distance and the rate, now we need to solve for the time:

[tex]\frac{4}{7}=4\frac{5}{7}t[/tex]

Let's change that mixed fraction into an improper one:

[tex]\frac{4}{7}=\frac{33}{7}t[/tex]

Now to solve for t we can multiply the 33/7  by its recirocal:

[tex](\frac{7}{33})\frac{4}{7}=\frac{33}{7}(\frac{7}{33})t[/tex]

Multiplying a fraction by its reciprocal = 1, so that leaves only a t on the right:

[tex](\frac{7}{33})\frac{4}{7}=t[/tex]

The 7's cancel out on the left and that leaves you with

[tex]t=\frac{4}{33}hr[/tex]
