Answers
2.5 km = 1 day (Given)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 1: Find the number of days needed to repair 1 km
1 km = 1 ÷ 2.5 = 2/5 day
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 2: Find the number of days needed to repair 24 3/5 km
1 km = 2/5 days
24 3/5 km = 2/5 x 24 3/5 days
Change the 2nd term to improper fraction:
= 2/5 x 123/5
Combine into single fraction:
= 246/25
Simplify:
= 9 21/25 or 9.84 days
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 9 21/25 days or 9.84 days
Answer:
11 2/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of days taken to repair 24 3/5 km long road at the rate of 2 1/5 km per day.
= (24 3/5 / 2 1/5 )days = (123/5 / 11/5)days
= 123/5 × 5/11 days = 123/11 days = 11 2/11 days
