Answer 2

Each section has length of 1.5 miles.

Explanation:

The combined length of the highway is 3/4 of a mile

Priya’s class has adopted two equal sections of a highway to keep clean.

We need to find the length of each section.

As there are 2 equal sections, to find the length of each section divide the combined length of a length by 2.

`l=(3)/((4)/(2))\\\\=1.5`

Hence, each section has length of 1.5 miles.
