Answer 1

2 miles per day

EXPLANATION :

In 1/8 day, they finished 1/4 miles of the road.

We just need to divide the work done by the time to get the rate :

`(1)/(4)/(1)/(8)`

Division can be expressed as multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the divisor.

That will be :

`(1)/(4)*(8)/(1)=2`
