Here we have , A construction crew must build 4 miles of road in one week. On Monday, they build 1/2 mile of road. On Tuesday, they build 1/3 mile of road. We need to find that How many more miles of road are left to build . Let's find out:

On Monday, they build 1/2 mile of road.
On Tuesday, they build 1/3 mile of road.

Let Miles of road left to build is x So,

⇒ $\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{3} +x = 4$

⇒ $x = 4 - (\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{3})$

⇒ $x = 4 - (\frac{1(3)+1(2)}{6} )$

⇒ $x = 4 - (\frac{5}{6} )$

⇒ $x = (\frac{4(6)-5}{6} )$

⇒ $x = \frac{24-5}{6}$

⇒ $x = \frac{19}{6}$

Therefore, $\frac{19}{6}$ many more miles of road are left to build .
