Explanation

The chapter explains that when a whole is divided into equal parts, each part is a fraction. If 1 km is made in 8 days, then in 1 day, 18\frac{1}{8} km is made. For 5 days: 5×18=585 \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8} km.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Work per day = 18\frac{1}{8} km (since 1 km is completed in 8 days)

  2. Step 2: Work in 5 days = 5×18=585 \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8} km
