A railroad construction crew can lay 1 1/4 mi of track in one day. At that rate how many miles of track can be laid in 10 days?
To find out how many miles of track can be laid in 10 days, we need to multiply the amount of track laid in one day by the number of days.
1 1/4 mi * 10 days = 12.5 miles
Therefore, a railroad construction crew can lay 12.5 miles of track in 10 days.
A railroad construction crew can lay 1 1/4 mi of track in one day. At that rate how many days will it take to lay 10 mi of track?
To find out how many days it will take to lay 10 miles of track, we need to divide the total distance by the amount of track laid in one day.
10 mi / 1 1/4 mi = 10 / 1.25 = 8
Therefore, it will take 8 days for the railroad construction crew to lay 10 miles of track.
