Question

A crew must repave a road that is 3/8 miles long. They can repave 1/48 miles per hour. How long will it take the crew to repave the road

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 miles long, 1/48 miles per hour

3/8 and 1/48 can have a common denominator, so you make 3/8 into 18/48 by multiplying both the numerator and denmoinator by 6.

18/48 miles long

1/48 per hour

divide: 18/48 divided by 1/48, which turns into 18/48 x 48/1 which equals 18

18 hours
