Answer:

The correct answer is 12 and a half or 13 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the values to decimals.

27 1/2 = 27.5

2 1/4 = 2.25

Then, divide miles of road that need to be repaved by the number of miles that are repaved per week.

27.5/2.25 = 12.2222222222222

Round that up to 12 and a half weeks or 13 weeks.
