Question

A construction crew has just built a new road. It took them 8 weeks to build 20.48 kilometers of road. At what rate did they build the road?

Answer 1

Answer:The rate per week =

20.48/8 = 2.56 kilometers per week

Step-by-step explanation:

A construction crew has just built a new road. It took them 8 weeks to build 20.48 kilometers of road. To determine the rate at which the road was built, we would divide the total length of road that was built by the construction company by the number of weeks or days or even hours used in the construction.

The rate per week =

20.48/8 = 2.56 kilometers per week

If we want to find the rate per day,

1 week = 7 days

8 weeks will be 8×7 = 56 days

So the rate per day =

20.48/56 = 0.366 kilometers per day.
