How to solve this equation for alg 2?

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.
