Q. A road repair crew spread 56\frac{5}{6} of a ton of gravel evenly over 55 feet of road. How many tons of gravel did they spread on each foot of road?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline_____ tons
  1. Total Gravel Spread Calculation: We know the total gravel spread is 56\frac{5}{6} of a ton over 55 feet of road. To find the amount of gravel per foot, we divide the total gravel by the number of feet.\newlineCalculation: (56)÷5=56×15=530=16\left(\frac{5}{6}\right) \div 5 = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{30} = \frac{1}{6}
