Question

A construction crew has just finished building a road. The crew worked for 4 1/5 days. If they built 2 1/3 kilometers of road each day, what is the total length of road they built?

Answer 1

9.8

Explanation:

The crew worked for 4 1/5 days

They built 2 1/3 kilometres of road each day

Therefore the total length of the road can be calculated as follows

= 4 1/5 × 2 1/3

= 21/5 × 7/3

= 147/15

= 9.8

Hence the length of the road is 9.8 kilometres
