The top walking deck of a ship is 120 ft long. This is only 3/11 of the length of the ship. What is the length of the ship

440 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The top walking deck is 120ft long and yet comprises only 3/11 of the ships total length.

Assuming the total length of the ship is x ft long, the expression would therefore be:

x * 3/11 = 120 ft

The above shows that if x is multiplied by 3/11 it will give a distance of 120ft which is the top walking deck length.

Solving for x:

x * 3/11 = 120

x = 120 ÷ 3/11

x = 120 * 11/3

x = 440 ft

Note: When being divided by a fraction, you can multiply the inverse of the fraction to find the result.

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3
