3/5 hour,           1/6 distance was covered.

1 hour              =  (1/6  ÷  3/5)
                       
                        =  1/6 * 5/3  = 5/18.

5/18 of the distance would be covered.

Uisng the principle of proportional relationship, the fraction of the distance traveled in 1 hour would be 5/18

Setting up the relationship thus :

1/6 = 3/5 hours

x = 1 hour

Cross multiply

(3/5)x = 1/6

3x/5 = 1/6

Cross multiply

18x = 5

x = 5/18

Hence, the fraction of the distance traveled in 1 hour would be 5/18
