Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

16 days

Step-by-step 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:

$\frac{x}{1} =\frac{14}{\left( \frac{7}{8} \right) }$

$\Longrightarrow x=14\times \frac{8}{7} =2\times 8=16$
