Question

A road crew must repave a road that is

2/3
miles long. They can repave
1/12
miles each hour. How long will it take the crew to repave the road?

Answer 1

You have to find a numerator which would make X/12 equal to 2/3
By multiplying four on the top and bottom of 2/3, you get 8/12
So, it would take 8 hours to pave 8/12 of a mile or 2/3 of a mile

Answer 2

It will take 8 hours to repave the road
