    A construction crew has just built a new road. They built 43.75 kilometers of road at a rate of 7 kilometers per week. How many weeks did it take them?

    Let w = weeks
    7 kilometers per week * w = 43.75

    To solve for w, we divide each side of the equation by 7:
    7w/7 = 43.75/7

    Cancel the 7's, we get:
    w = 6.25
