Question

A road crew Musri pave a road that is 7/8 miles long they can repave 1/56 miles each hour how long will it take the crew to repave the road

Answer 1

Given data :

`1\text{ hour = }(1)/(56)miles`

distance required to cover =

`(7)/(8)`

thus, the time taken is,

`\begin{gathered} =((7)/(8))/((1)/(56)) \\ =(7)/(8)*56 \\ =(7)/(1)*7 \\ =7*7 \\ =49 \end{gathered}`

thus the time taken is 49 hours.
