Answer 2

Given:

A construction crew built 1/2 miles of road in 1/8 days.

To Find:

What is the unit rate in miles per day?

Solution:

A construction crew built miles of road in 1/8 days = $\frac{1}{2}$

A construction crew built miles of road in 1 day =$\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{8}}$

                                                                                  =$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{8}{1}$

                                                                                  = 4

So, A construction crew built miles of road in 1 day= 4 miles

Hence the unit rate in miles per day is 4 miles per day
