A road construction company can repair 1/8 mile of road each day. Road X is 5 1/2 miles long, and Road Y is 8 3/4 miles long. How many more days will Road Y take to repair than Road X

Answer 1

Use 1/8*(whatever amount of days until fractions match)

road y will take 70 days to repair (1/8*70)

it will take road y 26 days longer to repair
