Answer 1

ANSWER :

2 miles per day

EXPLANATION :

In 1/8 day, they finished 1/4 miles of the road.

We just need to divide the work done by the time to get the rate :

$\frac{1}{4}\div\frac{1}{8}$

Division can be expressed as multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the divisor.

That will be :

$\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{8}{1}=2$
