If a contractor's crew can frame 3 houses in a week and they frame the same number each week, we can calculate how many weeks it will take them to frame 54 houses.
First, let's find out how many houses they frame in one day. We know that they can frame 3 houses in a week, so by dividing 3 by 7 days, we find that they frame approximately 0.43 houses in a day.
Next, we can use this information to calculate the number of weeks it will take them to frame 54 houses. By dividing 54 houses by 0.43 houses per day, we find that it will take them approximately 125.58 days.
Since there are 7 days in a week, we can divide 125.58 days by 7 to find out how many weeks it will take. This calculation shows that it will take them approximately 17.94 weeks.
Therefore, it will take the contractor's crew approximately 17.94 weeks to frame 54 houses if they frame the same number each week.
To find out how long it will take the contractor's crew to frame 54 houses, we need to determine how many houses they can frame in one week.
Given that the contractor's crew can frame 3 houses in a week, we can calculate the number of weeks required as follows:
Number of houses per week = 3
Number of houses to frame = 54
So, we divide the total number of houses to frame by the number of houses per week:
54 houses / 3 houses per week = 18 weeks
Therefore, it will take the contractor's crew 18 weeks to frame 54 houses if they frame the same number of houses each week.
