Answer:

3 1/3 signs

Explanation:

A construction company is setting up signs on 2 1/2 miles of road the company places a sign every 3/4 of a mile which model represents How many signs the company will place on the road ?

From the above question:

3/4 miles = 1 sign

2 1/2 miles = x

Cross Multiply

3/4 miles × x = 2 1/2 miles × 1

x = 2 1/2 miles × 1/3/4 miles

x = 5/2 miles ÷ 3/4 miles

x = 5/2 miles × 4/3 miles

x = 10/3 signs

x = 3 1/3 signs

Therefore, the company will place 3 1/3 signs on the road.
