Answer:
It will take 18 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The crew can repave [tex]\frac{1}{48}[/tex] miles,
The length of road they must repave = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] miles,
Hence,
[tex]\text{The time taken by them to repave the road}=\frac{\text{The road they must repave}}{\text{The length they repave per hour}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{3/8}{1/48}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{144}{8}[/tex]
[tex]=18\text{ hours}[/tex]
