Two ships leave a port at the same time. The first ship sails on a bearing of 54º at 16 knots (nautical miles per hour) and the second on a bearing of 144º at 26
knots. How far apart are they after 1.5 hours? (Neglect the curvature of the earth.)

a. 3/4 ÷ 1/8 = 6

step-by-step explanation:

in the question, the number line represents 3/4 divided into 6 equal units. each arrow represents a unit and there are a total of six arrows.

the size of each unit is 1/8 as shown.

showing that 1/8 divides 3/4 into 6 divisions:

3/4 ÷ 1/8

= 3/4 x 8/1

= 3/1 x 8/4

= 3 x 2

= 6

hence, the number line represents six divisions given by 3/4 ÷ 1/8.

95.03 is the answer. hope this !
