Question

A road crew spread 1 1/3 tons of gravel evenly over 8 feet of road.how many tons of gravel did they spread on each foot of road?

Answer 1

`\bf 1(1)/(3)/ 8\implies \cfrac{1(1)/(3)}{8}\implies \cfrac{(1\cdot 3+1)/(3)}{(8)/(1)}\implies \cfrac{(4)/(3)}{(8)/(1)}\implies \cfrac{4}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{8}\implies \cfrac{4}{24}\implies \cfrac{1}{6}`
