Answer: 20 days.


Explanation:

Given: A road construction crew is resurfacing the highway between point D and point E.

The distance between point D and point E =93 miles

Since, the crew has completed 35 miles.

And 90-35=58 miles is the remaining miles of road which crew has to resurface.

If they work at a speed of 2.9 miles per day, then the time it take to finish will be
Time=(Distance)/(speed)=(58)/(2.9)=20\ days

Hence, the crew will finish the work in 20 more days.
