Answer :

ANSWER

[tex]1.28\text{ weeks}[/tex]

EXPLANATION

The rate at which they built the road is 3 km per week and they built 3.84 km of the road.

To find the time it took to make the road, divide the distance made by the rate:

[tex]\begin{gathered} rate=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \\ \text{time}=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{rate}} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the time taken (in weeks) is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{time}=\frac{3.84}{3} \\ \text{time}=1.28\text{ weeks} \end{gathered}[/tex]

That is the answer.
