2.14 kilometers of road is built each day

Solution:

Given that road is 10 kilometers long

The crew worked for
4(2)/(3) days

To find: Kilometers of road build each day

Assume they built the same amount each day

Length of road = 10 km

number of days worked =
4(2)/(3) = (3 * 4 + 2)/(3) = (14)/(3)

Kilometers of road build each day is given as:

Kilometers of road build each day = total length of road divided by number of days the crew worked


\rightarrow (10)/((14)/(3))=(10)/(1) * (3)/(14)=2.14

Thus 2.14 kilometers of road is built each day
