How long does it take to install 47 sq of shingles if production is 6.37 sq per day?

  1. 7.37 sq a day

  2. 13.47 sq a day

  3. 3.14 sq a day

  4. 8.21 sq a day

The correct answer is: 7.37 sq a day

To determine how long it takes to install 47 square feet of shingles at a production rate of 6.37 square feet per day, you would divide the total area by the production rate. Calculating this gives: 47 sq ÷ 6.37 sq/day = approximately 7.37 days. This indicates that it would take a bit more than 7 days to complete the installation of shingles at the provided production rate. The accurate daily installation rate and total area clearly lead to a calculation that matches the result indicated in the first choice. The other options do not reflect the correct calculation based on the production rate, hence they diverge from the true time required for the installation.
