Answer: the total length of road they built is 9 1/5 kilometers.

Explanation:

The total number of days that it took the construction crew to finish the road 2 4/5. Converting 2 4/5 days to improper fraction, it becomes 14/5 days.

If they built 3 2/7 kilometers of road each day, converting 3 2/7 kilometers to improper fraction, it becomes 23/7 kilometers.

Therefore, the total length of road that they built is

23/7 Ă— 14/5 = 322/35 kilometers

Converting to mixed fraction, it becomes

9 1/5 kilometers
