If a construction company is building a fence that is 2/3 miles long, and they build 1/6 of the fence every hour. how many hours will it take them to complete the fence?

It takes 4 hours to complete the entire fence

Solution:

Given that construction company is building a fence that is miles long

They build of the fence every hour

To find: number of hours required to complete the fence

From given information,

Length of fence =

Time taken to build mile of fence = 1 hour

Then time taken to build 1 mile of fence = Time taken to build mile of fence divided by 1/6

Thus 6 hours are needed to build 1 mile of fence

So to build entire length of fence, time taken is given as:

time taken = total length of fence x time taken for 1 mile of fence

Thus it takes 4 hours to complete the entire fence

the answer is (-4,-4)

hope this ! : d
