no, i think it will take an year to finish.
To determine if the highway will be finished in 8 months, we need to calculate the average rate of construction progress per month.
Let's assume that the rate of construction progress is constant over the 8 months.
To determine the average rate of construction progress, divide the total length of the highway by the number of months:
54 miles / 8 months = 6.75 miles per month
Therefore, the average rate of construction progress is 6.75 miles per month.
If the construction team maintains this rate, the highway will be finished within 8 months.
