Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

A crew of highway workers paved 12 mile in 14 hour.

We need to find how much will they pave in 1 hour if they work at the same rate.

14 hours = 12 miles

To find how much they pave in 1 hour, we must divide 12 by 14 as follows :

$1\ \text{hour}=\dfrac{12}{14}\ \text{miles}\\\\=0.857\ \text{miles}$

Hence, they pave 0.857 miles in 1 hour.0.857 miles in 1 hour.
