Answer:
2.25 miles of road they have to build this week
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total distance of the road = 3 miles
Distance constructed on Tuesday = 1/4 mile of road.
To Find:
Miles of road still have to be built this week=?
Solution:
Let the Distance that have to be built be X
Then,
X= total distance of the Road – the distance built on Tuesday
X = 3 – [tex]\frac{1}{4} \text{ of the 3}[/tex]
X = 3 - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
X =[tex]\frac{12 -3}{4}[/tex]
X= [tex]\frac{ 9}{4}[/tex]
X= 2.25 miles
