Question

A construction crew has just finished building a road. The crew worked for 8 days. If they built 2 1/6 kilometers of road each day, what is the total length of road they built?

Answer 1

13km

Explanation:

Given data

Time= 8 days

Speed= 2 1/6 kilometers per day = 13/6 kilometers per day

Distance= ??

We know that

Speed= distance/time

therefore, Distance= speed*time

substitute

Distance= 13/6*8

Distance= 104/8

Distance= 13 km

Hence the crew did 13km
