Question

Roadstone Limited can resurface 7/8km of a road in a day. How many days will it take

to resurface a road of length 14 km?

Answer 1

16 days

Explanation:

Let x be the number of days that it will take.

7/8 km per 1 day

14 km per x day

We have to solve the equation:

`(x)/(1) =(14)/(\left( (7)/(8) \right) )`

`\Longrightarrow x=14* (8)/(7) =2* 8=16`
