We can use the formula:

distance = rate × time

where distance is the total length of the road built, rate is the speed at which the road was built, and time is the number of weeks it took to build the road.

Substituting the given values, we get:

7.68 kilometers = 6 kilometers/week × time

To solve for time, we can divide both sides of the equation by 6 kilometers/week:

7.68 kilometers ÷ 6 kilometers/week = time

Simplifying the left-hand side, we get:

1.28 weeks = time

Therefore, it took the construction crew approximately 1.28 weeks to build the road.
