A road 12 km 600 m long is being laid in a town. The workers lay an equal length of road each day, and complete the work in 6 days. How much road-laying work is done on each day?

Correct Answer

Given: Total road length = 12 km 600 m = 12,600 m Number of days = 6

Formula: Road laid each day = Total road length ÷ Number of days

Calculation: 12,600 ÷ 6 = 2,100 m 2,100 m = 2 km 100 m

Answer: Road laid each day = 2 km 100 m

Explanation

Total road length = 12 km 600 m = 12,600 m. Dividing equally over 6 days: 12,600 ÷ 6 = 2,100 m = 2 km 100 m per day.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Convert 12 km 600 m to metres: 12,600 m

  2. Step 2: Divide by 6 days: 12,600 ÷ 6 = 2,100 m

  3. Step 3: Convert back: 2,100 m = 2 km 100 m
