Question

A construction crew has just built a new road. They built 15.36 kilometers of road in 6 weeks. At what rate did they build the road?

Answer 1

We would do division by the amount they have built by how long it took them to built it.


`\boxed{15.36/6} = 2.56(km) \Leftarrow a \ week`

Your answer:
`\boxed{\boxed{\bf{2.56(km) \Leftarrow (per \ week)}}}`

Answer 2

divide total length by time:

15.36 / 6 = 2.56 km per week
