Question

In 1/8 days, a construction crew built 1/4 miles of a road. What is the unit rate in miles per day.

Answer 1

The unit rate of road construction is 2 miles per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

In $\frac{1}{8}$ days $\frac{1}{4}$ miles road is constructed.

To find

The rate of road constructed per day

Method

We will apply unitary method to solve it.

Now,

In $\frac{1}{8}$ days $\frac{1}{4}$ miles road is constructed.

In 1 day the road will be constructed = $\frac{1}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{8}$ miles

= 2 miles
